Crownhill Fort
The next day was an open day at Crownhill Fort. Built in 1872, it retains many of the features of that period, overlayed with it's varied usage since. It was 'withdrawn from service' in 1986 and purchased by the Landmark Trust. It is a spectacular venue for a picnic, not least because of the extensive underground tunnels to explore, and the gun emplacements to climb!

Medieval Times
We recently visited Buckland Abbey (NT) for their medieval weekend, set in 1471. I was taken by this simple display of reproduction games and drinking vessels from the period ... by contrast, we have been without our broadband connection for some 10 days and found it very frustrating ... life was once so straightforward!
