Quiz Time (General Knowledge & Out of Area)

[Hugo]

It's over the border and in a National Park so that should make it easier, but where is it?

[Hugo]

You might see these birds there

[hollins]

Is it Peckforton Castle? Don't think it is in a National Park though.   

[Hugo]

A good try Hollins, it is a castle but not Peckforton

You won't see these birds there though, although they are in the same National Park

[SteveH]

Anything to do with Bolton castle ?                         Second guess Ripley

[Hugo]

Sorry Steve but your guesses are not correct, so where is this castle?


It's not by this lake either but more westerly

[hollins]

Muncaster castle?

[Hugo]

Well done Hollins,  it is Muncaster Castle in the Lake District     


We had a few days away in the Lake District and it was a nice break with beautiful weather as a bonus

[hollins]

How lovely for you and what weather! We were saying how lucky it was for anyone on holiday this past week.
Where would you see this in North Wales?

[rhuddlan]

Is it the exit point of the milwr tunnel near bagillt?

[hollins]

Well done Rhuddlan!
We had our picnic lunch there on our walk from Llannerch-y-Mor to Bagillt.
What an amazing story it is about the tunnel.
Here is a link to some info taken from a book about it.

Rhuddlan, Tellytubby and I were looking at the torrent of water coming out of that tunnel some time ago , at least 23 million gallons a day and wondered why they hadn't considered harnessing the power of that source of water

[rhuddlan]

There used to be a waterwheel at LyM apparently
Slightly bigger than the Lacey wheel
On the IOM. There is an information plaque about it at
abakhan's. That would have made a better attraction
Than the dreadful fun ship.

That book extract is very interesting Hollins. I'm not too far from Cadole and though aware to an extent of local industrial heritage, found the detail fascinating. Anyone know which once popular household cleaning product has links to this area?

[SteveH]

I was going to put these photos in a quiz, but they are too easy to find on google search, so just for fun without searching can you identify these............
