History, Strength and Survival
Transported back to the time of Kings and Queens, we were exhilarated to climb up steep stairs to the top of the castle walls. They are walkable all the way around town but no bannisters make very courageous tourists step carefully over crumbly rock and brick.

Letter to James
James. A powerful name. It’s a classic. It’s traditional and biblical and Shakespeare loved it.
