You're correct ME but does Yorkie want the exact location?

My first wild guess at Monchique.        ???

Portugal is right, so far as it goes.   But Monchique is the answer I was seeking.  Stopped here to sample the local vino when I used to drink the stuff.  Monchique also has plenty of water from the local spring.

stick to the latter Yorkie with a drop of scotch In it just to flavour it if you know what i mean.  ( freeze the water first to kill any germs)

When I lived for a few years in Bonnie Scotland, I took up drinking Whisky.  However, the tale was that it was the water that killed you, so I had the occasional dram of Glen Grant, which I was informed, should not be adulterated with H2O!   As I am still roaming the Planet, it just shows how effective was the advice!
Nowadays, of choice, I am TT.

Whilst on our travels last weekend, we saw this steam train. Which town's Station is it leaving? I've left the very prominent building on the hill in the photo as a clue... ;)

The building looks like Hardwick Hall and so I will guess the Station could be Sutton-in-Ashfield.   $walesflag$

Sorry, I haven't been around. Yorkie is incorrect, I'm afraid and I don't see why you shouldn't answer it, Hollins, as long as you name the building as well.  :D

He last posted on 6 March shortly after 9 a.m., 3 hours after I posted my answer!  No posts since then.   Maybe on holiday or major IT collapse!     ???

Oooops, question answered while I was posting.

I think it's called Riber castle, but spot on, it is Matlock. Nice little town. $good$
