Dean Heritage Centre - Soudley, Forest of Dean, Gloucestershire

Heritage

The site at Camp Mill has a history going back nearly 400 years, to the time of King James I. It owes its existence to the brook that flows down the Soudley valley which was used to turn waterwheels for powering machinery.  Over the years the site has been used for at least six different purposes. Unfortunately, there is very little written evidence to give us a detailed picture of the industries and buildings that existed on the site. However, it is possible to piece together a brief history from records, maps and plans.

Beatrix Potter's House of the Taylor of Gloucester - Gloucester

Heritage

The House of the Tailor of Gloucester is today a charming museum and quaint shop. The building is easy to find. It is in College Court which stands within the shadow of the Cathedral. This was the building, Beatrix Potter chose to draw (page 37 in The Tailor of Gloucester) which inspired her to write what she described as her 'favourite book'. Number 9, College Court, standing beside the ancient St Michael's Gate, was the building Beatrix Potter chose for the setting of her story, The Tailor of Gloucester. The inspiration for this story came in May 1894 when Beatrix Potter was staying with her cousin, Caroline Hutton. Whilst at the Hutton's home, Harescombe Grange, which lies five miles south of Gloucester, Caroline told Beatrix the curious tale of a local Tailor, John Pritchard. Closing his shop one Friday evening, with a waistcoat cut out but not sewn together, he was surprised to discover when, on the Monday morning he opened the shop again, to discover that apart from one button hole, the waistcoat had been sewn together. A tiny note was pinned to the button hole which read, "no more twist". The Tailor was amazed and bewildered that the work had been finished short of completion. From this date, John Pritchard advertised his work had been 'made at night by fairies'. On hearing this, Beatrix requested that they visit Gloucester the next day to visit the Tailor's shop, number 45 Westgate Street. Whilst visiting, Beatrix sketched some of the beautiful buildings in the cathedral city of Gloucester, including 9 College Court. Presumably, Beatrix Potter had already formed the story in her mind but it was not until 1901 that the tale was committed to paper as a Christmas present for the daughter of one of her tutors, Freda Moore.

Monmouth Castle & Regimental Museum - Monmouth, Monmouthshire

Heritage

It'squo;s a surprise to find this ruin, tucked away as it is in a lane off Monmouth's main shopping street. Strategically located at crossings of the River Wye and River Monnow, only a few fragments – ruins of the 12th-century Great Tower and 13th-century hall – remain of this once-important castle. It was founded in the 11th century by Norman lord William fitz Osbern, and by the mid-14th century was in the hands of Henry of Grosmont, who modified the tower with large decorated windows whose outline can still be seen in the east wall. The most notable event in the tower's history occurred on 16 September 1386, when King Henry V of Battle of Agincourt fame was born here, an occasion commemorated at Monmouth's Agincourt Square.

Open Air Pool / Lido - Lydney, Gloucestershire

Activities

Given as a present to the inhabitants of Lydney and Aylburton by the Bathurst family, Bathurst Pool was opened on 2nd October 1920. It was donated to the people of Lydney and Aylburton by Charlies Bledisloe and it was to celebrate the 21st Birthday of his eldest son Benjamin Ludlow Bathurst. It was originally operated by a group of Trustees, mainly county councillors and local business people, set up by the Deed of Trust. The deed covering the pool states that in the event of any drought, Mr Thomas, of Lydney Tin Works, which was adjacent to the pool, would have priority over the water. The pool was subsequently handed over to the then Rural District Council, which was replaced by the Forest of Dean District Council and they finally passed it to the Lydney and Alyburton Parish Council. Details of the running of the pool between 1920 and 1960 are very sketchy but we do know that it had to be emptied every Saturday night, cleaned out, and then filled from the nearby stream every Sunday morning.

You are so buoyant that you can totally relax all your muscles, and let go of tensions. You will float naturally and effortlessly, and the support of the water around your body gives a sense of weightlessness. All the work the mind and body usually has to do just to resist gravity becomes unnecessary, and you are able to let go and relax into a blissful state.

White Castle Vineyard - Monmouthshire

Food and drink

Robb and Nicola's journey into viticulture began in 1993 when they purchased a 12-acre smallholding and transformed the old milking parlour into their cherished home. Nestled in the idyllic countryside, this setting became the perfect place for Nicola's dream of owning a vineyard to blossom. By 2008, Nicola's aspirations started taking shape when they acquired a south-facing field. Filled with excitement, they performed soil tests, ordered vines, and began planting. In May 2009, the first 4,000 vines were planted, marking the birth of White Castle Vineyard. Ten years later, in May 2019, to celebrate a decade since the first planting, they expanded the vineyard by planting an additional 2,000 vines. Among these were Cabernet Franc, the first of its kind in Wales. Today, White Castle Vineyard boasts 13,500 vines. In 2024, the estate reached another milestone with the construction of Y Gwindy, their very own winery, further solidifying their legacy in Welsh winemaking.

Lyonshall, part of the Black and White Trail, Herefordshire

Towns and villages

Lyonshall was listed under the name Lenehalle the Domesday Book of 1086.[2] The entry reads: LYONSHALL. Walter holds from him. Thorkell held from Earl Harold. 5 hides which pay tax. In Lordship 2 ploughs; 3 villagers, 11 smallholders and 3 riding men with 5 ploughs. 5 slaves, male and female. From some men settled there 110d are given for as long as they wish. Value before 1066, 60s; now 50s. Lyonshall is listed as being in the land of Roger of Lacy in Elsdon Hundred. Other villages in the same Hundred were Hopley's Green, Woonton, Eardisley and Letton. Also listed in Domesday Book are the adjacent parishes of Kington, Titley and Rushock, all described as non-tax paying waste lands. To the east of Lyonshall lies Pembridge, which, like Lyonshall, is described as a reasonable sized manor. Lyonshall local dialect was recorded as part of the Survey of English Dialects.[3] The village's name was omitted from the list of localities in the published Linguistic Atlas of England but it is shown on the maps as site 7 in Herefordshire. Lyonshall Castle is a ruin in private ownership, with moat and outer enclosure covering about three acres. The building of the castle started in about 1090 when the Devereux family, sometimes referred to as d'Évreux or D'Ebroicis, held it as lords of the manor from Roger de Lacy. Lyonshall was important as one of the border manors of the Marcher lords. Its position, occupying a useful spot on the roads to and from Wales, attracted military interest, and many of the castle occupants continued to lead lives of national significance, often serving in the Royal Courts. Many of Lyonshall's lords have been significant figures, both famous and infamous. In 1322 the castle is mentioned as being part of the estates of Bartholomew de Badlesmere, 1st Baron Badlesmere, who was described on his execution as "a great Baron and as great a Rebel." After Magna Carta some of the Marcher Lords continued to be troublesome to the king. Bartholomew's only son, Giles, died without issue, Lyonshall becoming the property of his sister and co-heir Maud who married John de Vere, 7th Earl of Oxford who fought in the Battle of Crecy in 1346. In 1382 Lyonshall passed to Simon de Burley, a royal favourite. Introduced to court at a young age, he went to sea at the age of 14 to fight the Spanish, and he was a soldier until his capture by the French at Poitou in 1369. He was a court tutor, and his former pupil, Richard II, made him Governor of Windsor and Llanstephan, Master of Falconry and Keeper of the Royal Mews; he also received manors and estates in reward for his service. However, he was charged with treason by the Duke of Gloucester and although the king and queen personally knelt to beg for his pardon, he was executed on 15 May 1388. The castle ruins are on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register due to their poor condition.[4]

I couldn't put it better than this Trip Advisor review, one of the large number of very positive ones. "Located to the rear of The Clubhouse in Sling: checked out trip advisor and were directed here. We thought we had the wrong place. A clubhouse in a residential area. A small sign directed us down a corridor and there we were. We really did not know what to expect but were so pleasantly surprised. Thai food to rival the best of London (where we are from). The owner is originally from Bangkok and Chiangmai and has pitched up here. A real character and passionate about his art. Quality."
