A pre-Christmas stay in St Briavels, near Gloucester, allowed us to sleep in the remains of a Norman castle once used as a hunting lodge by King John and now run as a hostel by the YHA. It includes an Oubliette prison – pit in which prisoners were thrown (and forgotten?). However we were not allowed to leave Adam and Eleanor there while we enjoyed ourselves.

That we live in a very special home has now been recognised by the BBC. See what you think: www.bbc.co.uk/northyorkshire/content/image_galleries/eco_house_gallery.shtml
