We managed to get some cheap and really nice accommodation at Widnes (small town just outside Liverpool) which was great because we caught up on some lost sleep. And once again we hopped in the car and started driving without having a clue which way we were driving. Someone had suggested going to Chester to check out the Roman Ampitheatre which is believed to be King Arthur's Round Table so we went there and did that just to say we went there and did that!

From here we once again just enjoyed driving down small country lanes and roads (amazingly stunning) to see what other gems we could find. We came across one of the few watermills still operating in England, Stretton Watermill.

And eventually came to the medieval town of Shrewsbury. Yet another fascinating place with old Tudor buildings and and a medieval castle and Abbey. Just enough time for a mid afternoon snack from the what has got to be the worlds smallest bakery. And we're off again. This time we did know where we were going to as we'd seen a picture of Ludlow Castle and it looked like it was worth a visit.
