Lostwithiel

[Saul]

Went out for a short bimble today before the dramas of the day.  Set out to go for a decent ride but ended up just going to the next town up river from where i live.  Lovely ancient Town of Lostwithiel.  Love that place, it was where I started work for Royal Mail many years ago.  Many beautiful old buildings there and still has a real strong community.  Not many places I would move to but Lostwithiel is one.

Very scenic place!

The wet roads disturbed me though!

More great pics. Thanks Saul. In the third pic is the large door exceptionally large or is the tiny door very tiny (it looks smaller than human sized!)?

That building is about 1000 years old.  It was the Duchy Palace and later became the seat of the Cornish Stannary Parliament.  The Black Prince, the first Duke of Cornwall used it as his meeting hall.    It was originally part of a much larger complex of buildings.  The small door is sort of short human size.  I doubt anyone really knows now.  Its being used as a museum now.
