It is well worth a visit. There is much more than I have show here including riverside walks and more.

No chance of any bits falling, it is all very sturdy even though it is in ruins.

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 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.

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 hadn’t thought of that. But now you mention it, yes it does
