Great photos, Julie! I think the flood defences were already in place by the time of my first visit 5+ years ago, unless I'm mistaken. I'll pop over & have a look the next time I'm down that way. :D

Lovely photos, Julie! The tower where Block signalled from is located to the rear of the house. :D

I didn't know that about the tower, Number 6. I wished I'd looked around the other side of the Burley Manor now! :)

Oh no!!!! Due to the fact you knew about Burley Manor, I naturally assumed that you knew about the tower as well. Wished I'd said something earlier now! :cry:

No problem, number 6. Have you got any photos of the tower they used?

Great photos, Julie. Funny to think dogs are still not allowed at Smuggler's Top after all these years!

Yes, I've got plenty of location photos, inc the tower. I've just got to get on to tiny pic & download them! I'm trying to work out how to do that. I've got actual photos (developed) & digital ones, too. Some are unique. For example the Gatewood House photos where I had the privilege to walk around the whole grounds! Have you an e-mail address? If so, I'll send you a few photos of G/wood. :D

I couldn't take Rosie into the Rhinefield House Hotel, Moonraker, which was Faynights Castle in the TV series. :lol:

Burley Manor does take dogs, and that was as you know, Smugglers Top.
