A lovely place in a beautiful setting.

Just outside Raglan, with a café, and other emporiums,

 The top photo illustrates the major problem with the Bristol Chanel as a

The South Bank Wednesday.

Falmouth Cornwall 18th-19th June 2014

 I stayed at the Falmouth Town House Hotel

which I can strongly recommend. The welcome was warm

and the breakfast and room facilities excellent.

Besides, it is very convenient for the harbour.

I visited the Maritime Museum and its library.

 The museum has a wide range of exhibits.

 

 And the observation tower affords excellent views of the marina..

and the Carrick Roads



Travelling to Cornwall 18th June 2014

I stopped off at Plymouth for lunch and walked down to the Hoe.  

 Then I boarded the train for Cornwall. Here, we are about mid-way between Devon and Cornwall.

(With yours truly reflected in the carriage window.) 

Now we are in Cornwall and looking back at Brunel's great bridge over The Tamar.

(Once again with window reflections.)

The old church has many interesting features,

including John Morgan's tomb (1557), and the Skenfrith Cope.

 A visit to The Dome, the most advanced, most automated, and most secure prison in the world, to do an article for a magazine, turns into a nightmare for Max Grannit and Maria De Marco when the most dangerous criminals in the world find a flaw in The Dome's security...

Pierrefonds - the great chateau

AddIf anyone can tell me more about the unusual tall tower, I shall be grateful!

Llanthony Priory
