Putting up with crowds of every

some kind of interactive visitor display can be annoying but I have a
castle at the end of my road - how many people can say that? :)

Me!! g :) I can see Warwick Castle from our bedroom window. This is
another stunning castle, almost completely intact. Besides the view,
I also get to listen to free concerts (very loud) in my garden when
people like Elton John, The Beach Boys and Rod Steward perform their
open air gigs in the castle grounds just beyond the houses every
summer!
Agree about the tourists though, one of the hazards of living in a
beautiful town is that other people want to visit (how
inconvenient!) When I'm shopping in the town, I seem to stand out as
a 'local', so I get targeted by sweet Japanese people (who seem to be
trained in spotting us), and asked all sorts of strange things. I
was once asked where one could buy stag heads! Apparently, they'd
seen the mounted antlers in the Great Hall of the castle and decided
that it was a look that would translate well to a Tokyo apartment!
