Where was I? Vol 2

[neilski]

The hill behind doesn't look too high so is it on one of the islands?

Rab maybe?

Hvar Town on Hvar taken from in the harbour.
One of my favourite places.

I can understand that, when I was there in Dubrovnik it just rained but Hvar was much better...

[williredale]

Looks English but can't place it more than that. Old roof line is visible on the right of the tower and the nave behind doesn't look in proportion with the tower so I'm going to guess it's a former monastery or abbey.

[HenryJM]

It was built as an Abbey prior to 1176 in penance for being part of the murder of Thomas Beckett. It dissolved as an Abbey in 1537 and quite a bit of the stone was used to build the nearby Hall.

A western tower is the only bit left (as pictured) it now forms a district church, the stone, as above, has been reused for the Hall:




Much of the remains of the grounds are used for two golf courses.

Beauchief sheffield

That's the one! England's greenest city, over 2 million trees - more per person than any other city in Europe - 170 woodlands, 78 public parks, 10 public gardens... one third inside the Peak District National Park.

And Beauchief, well within the boundaries towards the south west of Sheffield, down a little lane. Beauchief GS is a public owned course around the abbey, I played it numerous times as a kid.

Over to you.

Sheffield 2m trees, 550000 population.
Milton Keynes 22m trees, 230000 population.

Interesting fact?

I don't know why MK gets such a bad rap anymore.

It's grown to become a very good place to live.
