Best Western have turned it into a very luxurious (and expensive) hotel, but it's not the same.<br /><br />No I haven't been up in the church tower, it is not open to the public, unfortunately.

Actually, apart from my trips to the US, the majority of my photography that you've seen on Multiply and here on Blogger was done here in Wales, a lot of it within the local county. It's just the village I live in that I haven't photographed all that much. Perhaps I'll do more when the weather gets a bit warmer :-))MitchyLRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11423634734890422795noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2082974447292930490.post-106102515883081562013-02-24T10:46:35.919+00:002013-02-24T10:46:35.919+00:00You never know, Nico.
