DROMBEG STONE CIRCLE, CORK, IRELAND

The Drombeg Stone Circle is situated on the Glandore Road, west of Clonakilty, County Cork. It dates back to 150 BC, and is locally known as the Druids Altar. The circle has 17 standing stones, and is approximately 30 feet in diameter. At the winter solstice, the rays of the setting sun fall on the altar stone, which faces the entrance to the circle, marked by two upright stones. The word Drombeg means "the small ridge"

YARMOUTH PIER, ISLE OF WIGHT

Yarmouth is located on the western side of the Island and the town has grown up as a result of its natural harbour, which is guarded by Yarmouth Castle, a fortification built to protect the Solent from invading forces by Henry VIII in 1547. The Harbour attracts many yachts and motor cruisers which take advantage of the estuary afforded by the River Yar.

The Isle of Wight has reinvented itself in recent years, changing from a tacky mass-market tourist place with little on offer beyond burgers and chips, to a more up-market destination, with good food, good accommodation and its still unspoilt areas, particularly in the west (with maybe the exception of Alum Bay). To walk along the cliff top footpath is unparalleled for isolation. When the sun shines it is a delightful place.

CORFE CASTLE, DORSET.

Corfe Castle's 1,000 year-old ruins lie in Dorset's rolling, rural Purbeck Hills, just beside the charming little village of Corfe and not far from the start of the 630 mile [1014 kms] South West Coast Path, Studland Nature Reserve, superb beaches at Bournemouth and Studland and pretty good in Weymouth.

KERSEY, SUFFOLK

Here are some nice medieval weavers houses in Kersey.

Kersey is a beautiful village in the Babergh district in Suffolk, in the east of England. The main street has a ford across a stream. A coarse woollen cloth called Kersey cloth takes its name from it. The cloth was presumably originally made there, but later in many other places too. Kersey's church is St Mary's, and the village also contains a primary school. The village is also the filming location to a popular television advert.

KILCHURN CASTLE, LOCH AWE, SCOTLAND

Kilchurn Castle is located at the northeastern end of Loch Awe in Argyll, Scotland (15th century) . It is one of the most photographed castle ruins in the country because of the picturesque location and the romantic images it evokes, even in its current state of decay. The only access to this castle is by boat, during the summer months. You will have to take the A85 road to Lochawe, from where the boats for the castle leave from the pier. A visit to Kilchurn Castle will entrance you and take you back in time to the days of the clans. Imagine yourself standing on the turret looking out to sea as you stand guard over the castle. Now book your plane ticket at once !!!

MYSTERY PHOTO (14)

Hello everyone,

I think it is high time to give you the opportunity to find a new place again. This time it is very easy! However, you know why I'm doing this little game: my goal is to answer your questions in English of course. Good luck!

WEST DEAN, CHICHESTER, WEST SUSSEX

This is a picture of West Dean near Chichester in West Sussex. There is a horticultural college there, lots of sheep on the hills, and of course a wonderful tearoom. Now, the tearooms you can find in some gardens are sometime a fountain of wisdom, old gardeners’ tricks, elder gossip (all England’s country houses and gardens are popular with retired people) and pleasant smiles and the sort of strangers passing. I know I said before but you should really visit one of those places some day.

St DAVIDS, PEMBROKESHIRE, WALES
