Can’t agree more Bob. I really love Gloucester too. Those cloisters are breathtaking.

Glad you enjoyed your visit. Yes it’s quite incredible the building survived the CW it was used as a prison at one point.

View of the Malvern Hills towards the peak ‘British Camp’

Definitely a little something of Gondor about the Malvern Hills.

Tolkien was of course a regular visitor to the hills along with pals CS Lewis & George Storey.

Thank you 🙏
