    It always seems such a shame so many of these buildings were destroyed in the reformation. All w have are ruins. Tho I suppose England would be quite a different place if it had not been for that.

    With all the virtual reality we have these days I wonder if anyone will recreate them and their milieu digitally…

    I have virtually visited the Globe Theatre.. but there is the real version of it in Southwark, London also.

      I always try and imagine how impressive they must have been when they were still standing, some of them are enormous. You are right though, England wouldn’t be the same without it’s romantic ruins.

      I do like the way that museums recreate ruins and artefacts digitally, it helps to visualise how things may have looked.

    Is there any danger that a stone would detach itself while you’re walking among the buildings? Some seem fragile, athough they were solidly built.

    I missed out on this location last year when I stayed near Skipton, must catch up with it next time.
