We go to Wales

Inside Chirk castle

the reason the towers are so short is that the defenders used the stones to drop onto attackers during the civil war

We went to Wales.  First we went to look around Chirk Castle which we had seen from the Llangollen canal when we did a boat trip a few years ago.  Then we went to look at some of Thomas Telford's engineering, two aqueducts we'd been over on that canal trip.  We went into the town of Llangollen and had Welsh Cakes at a cafĂ© (we forgot to photograph them!)  The B&B we stayed in was fantastic, really old but boutique style accommodation.
