My favourite view of Oxford. I’m a loyal Hertford alumnus. But what outsiders don’t know is there are actually a lot of steps up & down either side of the bridge. It was quicker to use the road gates to travel between the quads. The bridge was handy when it was raining or if there were protests outside.

ウェールズの名城、ラグラン城。15世紀の建設以降、薔薇戦争や百年戦争からイングランド内戦まで、さまざまな歴史に彩られた城です。堀に囲まれたグレート・タワーには、ニューコメンやワットの発明を遥かに先駆けた、蒸気仕掛けの噴水装置が置かれ、轟音と強烈な水流で敵を威嚇したと言われています。
