Over the years, I have visited many of those attractions, with happy memories.
If I may, without breaching any Coffee Shop forum advertising rules, add a flag here for Tyntesfield? It's my local National Trust property, on the south facing hillside overlooking Nailsea and Backwell. It's fortune was made in the Victorian era, from - of all things - seagull poo. No, really!
