I know this!

Now Yorkie, I'm not so sure I like the 'unsympathetic' extension on that property?

Not my fault, blame Yorkshire CC who must have approved it!   ;D

Ah!  So you haven't guessed all my secrets?  You must choose the correct key word in your search.   Think of opulent buildings, opulent rooms and try a search using the name of one of our lady Members for example!    ZXZ

Hollins has it right!  It is indeed Hollins Hall, a Marriott Hotel in Bradford, Yorkshire.  &well&

The castle is Tintagel but that is only one third of the answer.   ;)

But as it will now be easy to Google it I may as well tell you.  The cave is called Merlins cave and the Castle is supposed to be the Birth place of King Arthur.   :D

   On one of my rare visits to this thread.

   Don't give someone like me time to think about it, do you?

  Around 7.30 I looked --- thought that seems familiar --- 30 mins later still thinking --- an hour later all done and dusted and answer provided.

   Not by me of course.  I'm still thinking what county is it in

Good Heavens, I have attended many functions, and been the best man at a wedding there, but I did not recognise it.

Sadly, I am called upon to be best man again in 6 weeks time, for the same Groom, different Bride and different venue.  :(
