Have you ever seen it? We should take a road trip there, the 4 of us, don't you think?

Road trip! I do think so.

I'll meet you all there! And I'll bring the picnic.

The finest fortified manor house in England- according to English Heritage.

I had no idea that existed...fantastic! I looked it up on the English Heritage website and wow! We have to get over there one day.

It's almost too good to be true.

That's lovely!
It looks like something from a Grimm's fairytale

You had a gorgeous day for it - Shropshire is beautiful in the sunshine.

We managed to pick three days of sunshine from a mass of indifferent weather

Can it be seen from the train? I remember seeing something very like that once, travelling from Bristol to Anglesey (and we did go through Shropshire), and saying 'Wow!' but not being able to find out what it was...

I wasn't aware of passing trains, but according to the English Heritage guidebook there's a station at Craven Arms just a mile away.

I should have checked before, but it does run very close by. I'm 95% certain it's the same place.
