The town is a short walk away and we headed to 'Reginald's Tower', it is the last tower remaining from numerous incarnations of a fort that was here from the 10th Century. It is named after the Viking King 'Reginall or Reginald' who conquered this place and set up a Viking town in the late 900's. The tower is 3 storeys high and has sen a lot of history since then, including being used by 'Strongbow' (the leader of the Anglo-Norman invasion force) and visits by King John and King James II as well as serving time as a munitions store and prison. There are very interesting displays on all the floors.

Gorgeous views, really friendly staff, no queuing or overcrowding and something different to do. Follow the treasure map through the hedgerow maze, to the solstice maze (which is a great area for a game of tip the can ????), walk the nature trail into a beautiful wooded area, meet the farm animals and visit the museums. Pack a picnic and take your time it really is a great spot????

It has a regency curved stairway that's in danger of being demolished by the Council itself as they want to make way for modern windows and a lift - surely a sacrilege! Visitors should all question the Council there about such contemplated vandalism.
