Château de Tonquédec: Double Drawbridge

I loved this double drawbridge at this castle, it was one of teh best defences I'd seen in any castle anywhere. This place in Brittany is well worth a visit, tucked down in a beutiful valley.

Ghostly Writing on the Wall

This little gem shows how given time even grafitti can become "heritage" in its own right!

Glass Bottle Remains from Edward Jenner's Rubbish Pit

It seems as though Dr Jenner's rubbish pit has been found and it is possible these broken bottles/phials belonged to him. Further investigation is needed though during the Bristol University annual dig at Berkeley.

I had a great visit with friends to rural Herefordshire, and when we visited a small cosy pub, I was struck by the view through the lounge window!

Copper Phoenix

I have left Berkeley Castle and now set up my own heritage marketing company called Copper Phoenix. You can have a look at the site http://www.copperphoenix.co.uk

Many attractions and museums are not pushing their businesses hard enough during this recession when they should be promoting them even more. That's where Copper Phoenix can make a big difference, increasing revenue and visitor numbers.
