    Well that was easy, wasn't it. Now for another 14thC castle, blown up by the Germans in '44, At one time it was a 'new castle'. Region famous for wine.

    Pliers.

    You don't have to struggle at all with the cows. There is no answer to seek! It was just a piece of street architecture that we passed whilst out cycling up one side of the River Maas in Eastern Netherlands and back down the other. This was seen near a town called Roermond and caught our eye. Stop beating yourself Woman.smile Save those grey cells for something else.

    Dipping a toe in the Isle of Eriskay, Outer Hebrides.  Heaven!

    Looks like the property one would see in the Camargue area but there are cliffs in the background so not there. Maybe further along the coast.

     ps forgot to quote Pliers post.

    We were there for the birding, but it isn’t the Camargue. 
    Follow the Med coast in a south western direction!

    Must be Ebro Delta then. If so then it's another of our favourite places.

    Absolutely is!

    We stayed at Camping Eucalyptus, prantincole central.

    Would recommend to anyone wanting a good, quiet campsite with a fantastic beach and wonderful birding. 
    Not sure how quiet it might be in high summer season though...🤔

    🙂

    I bet nobody will be able to guess where this is. 

    Let me know if you need a clue.

    Close but no cigar as they say. Here's a clue - It's not Blackburn either.

     We went for a walk along the top of the wall around the town - it was a lot further than I thought!

    I always think that some sights are not as impressive in real life as you imagine but this certainly is.

    This one is a little bit more modern. I have a recollection that there is a church spire in England with a similar lean. Anyone got any pictures?

    WN, it lacks a clock and, as we all know, if you haven't got the time, it's no good having the inclination. wink

    Mrs WN recommends it. She went with MiL a few years ago.

    In case anyone is interested, the castle in my last poser was Chateauneuf du Pape. I seem to have a deadening effect on this threadfrown

    So just to juxtapose the nice alpine railway scene, here's a photo taken from 'Camping Floral', a site Cath said she never wanted to go back to after our second overnight stop there. Greeted on arrival by le Patron with a drink, he having started earlier in the afternoon! Anyway here's the photo of the giant nougat factory taken from the campsite. Name the river and the town. There's a giant mural of a child pouring sand from a shell on the cooling tower.

    It's Montelimar ! It was 'nugget' when i was a boy as well. Major treat was a 'Nugget Wafer', an icecream 'slider' with a 'nugget-like' filled wafer on one side.cool The real thing is a delicacy and cannot be compared to the rock-hard confection of yore.
