We have stayed in a couple of old hotels. This one is just over 500 years old. The stairs, halls and low beams are a common issue of randomness that adds a lot to the character. This was one of our best hotels so far. Hopefully, this short video tour will give you some insights.
Narrow road of the day. This one has hard edges. At Hay-on-Wye
Driving here is interesting in places where the hedges grow to the edge of the tarmac. You can be doing 100kph inches away from the trees. In many places the tree canopy meets in the middle of the road. The only shaping and trimming is from passing trucks. Apparently, some years ago they decided to stop vegetation management to save the bees. They also saved the expense of employing thousands of workers.
