When in France, we were a bit dismayed at the lack of explanation of historical sites (in French). The British Heritage Trust Sites are totally the opposite. I am so impressed with the amount of care that is going into preserving sites and the dedication of the volunteers. At each site, we were enthusiastically greeted and an every room of homes and castles, there is a volunteer to give the story. Even though it is early April, weather is dismal, the sites are quite busy.
Our first site was Cotehele, a manor house built in 1458.
What great memories you both are storing up. Rich experiences socially, historically, and culturally. Thanks for sharing your wonderful photos and descriptions throughout your journey.
