After overnighting in Moffat following a very wet and windy journey from Aviemore we drove on south into Northern England where the weather was fine once again. This is a view over Teesdale in the Pennines with typical drystone walls. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

The original Cistercian Rufford Abbey was founded by Gilbert de Gant in 1147. After Henry VIII's Dissolution of the monasteries the estate was granted to George Talbot, 4th Earl of Shrewsbury, partly demolished and converted to a country house between 1560 and 1590. The abbey and 150 acres of grounds were bought by Nottinghamshire County Council in 1952. In 1956 the late 17th century north and east wings were demolished and the remains opened to the public by the Council. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

Looking south-west from the Buxton Road between Earl Sterndale and Hindlow. The River Dove runs beneath the snow-capped limestone crags on the skyline. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

Another shot from our visit to Upton House & Gardens, a beautiful National Trust location. Plenty of walls to choose from! HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day.

A visit to Slumberger’s Sekt cellars. HWW to everyone on ipernity. Enjoy the day.

Fountains Abbey is one of the largest and best preserved ruined Cistercian monasteries in England. Founded in 1132, the abbey operated for 407 years, becoming one of the wealthiest monasteries in England until its dissolution, by order of Henry VIII, in 1539. HWW to everyone. Enjoy the day!

Looking down from the 1902-vintage Elevador de Santa Justa (Santa Justa Lift) on the varied styles and colours of the walls of the buildings on R. Aurea. HWW to everyone. Enjoy your mid-week day!

We broke our journey between Heidelberg & Bayreuth for lunch and a stroll around the walls of this fabulous medieval survivor. The last time I was here was in 1972! It was nice to be back.
