Southwold

I went to the town of Southwold last October.

Now I like Southwold. It feels a lot like and old fashioned seaside town. It generally has escaped the big brands coming into it (I was surprised to find a Costa), there are a couple of kiosks along the front that look decent cafes. I accept it is a little up market but it feels different and I approve of that.

St Edmund's church... well worth a visit! 

Kilburn and St Augustine's Church

I went to Kilburn yesterday to visit J L Pearson's gothic revival masterpiece church St Augustine's.

I was also impressed with Kilburn Park Underground station

Kedleston Hall

Kedleston Hall was built by Robert Adam for the Curzon family who have owned the estate since the 13th century in 1759.

It's a lovely place for a walk and to sit and watch the world go by.

The West Coast of Gernsuey

I do like the west coast of Guernsey, it's easy to get about (the south coast is harder to get at...) and has some lovely views and historic buildings.

On my first full day I wandered to the west and Roquaine bay..

The view to Fort Pezeries

Fort Grey - now restored and an interesting museum about the shipwrecks on the west coast.

Rousse Tower

 Le Trepied a passage grave which is 4500 years old.

Les Caches farmhouse

This is the view back from the L'Eree battery to Fort Sausmarez.

Fort Grey again
