Sylvain / SYLKmouv.io on Tarn HowsIt's fun to read Tarn Hows, because here in France, in the Occitanie region, there is a department called Tarn (81) rather hilly with certain Tuscan airs in the middle of which flows a river called Tarn / And now in french: C'est amusant de lire Tarn Hows, car ici
Scot Spearman on The betrayal and capture of William WallaceThe Late Andy Hillhouse produced loads of Wallace related artwork.
Les Simpson on Kirkby Lonsdale’s Devil’s Bridge – and the bikers who live thereSo glad to see that Kirkby Lonsdale council is hoping to restore "Ruskins' View. We have spent many happy hours in one of Englands' most beautiful villages and never missed the chance to visit. The local ales are excellent and contrary to some I have just read in this article,
Jennie on The Castles of the Lune ValleyYou're welcome, Mike.
Peter's pondering on The Castles of the Lune ValleyThis was well worth waiting for Mike. I always get excited when hearing the words Motte and Bailey as it takes me back to school and one of the few subjects that really grabbed my attention. That, and the fact that these are in one of the most fabulous areas
joannerambling on The Castles of the Lune ValleyDue to me feeling like shit I only read bits here and there and enjoyed the photos, what I did read I liked as I will never get to visit such places in person
willedare on The Castles of the Lune ValleyThank you for another lovely armchair adventure, Mike! You know SUCH A LOT about British/European history!!!! So many different cultures have visited, conquered, settled down and then assimilated into what is now called Britain... And all the while the river Lune just keeps flowing along, bless it! I did what
Cynthia H Anderson on Was England born in Athelney?I enjoyed this. The Somerset dialect bit reads like Wm. Barnes poetry, which I have an old copy of.
01mackem on The Castles of the Lune ValleyExcellent work as always, Mike. I know some of the Lune Valley (mainly in passing through it), and I have always thought that it was a lovely, unspoilt area. Perhaps on the back of your most interesting article, it's time that I did some actual exploration. Thanks for this, and
travelling_han on The Castles of the Lune ValleyThe Lune Valley looks beautiful, I'd love to explore more of it. Interesting re the lack of modern excavation - I wonder what they would find!

Gardens, Houses

Baddesley Clinton is a place with stories, a picturesque and charming moated manor house and estate dating from the 15th century, set in lovely gardens and surrounded by beautiful Warwickshire countryside. For 500 years it was home to the Ferrers family, staunch Roman Catholics, and it comes complete with a priest hole hidden in the medieval sewer. Its survival is largely due to its eccentric Victorian owners, Marmion and Rebecca Ferrers and their very close friends, Lady Chatterton and Edward Dering, collectively known as 'the Quartet'.
