The Wye Valley is beautiful. The Wordsworth poem is great, what must the place have been like when he visited it all those years ago<br />I must admit that there are places I have visited because of things I was interested in at school. I have visited Le Puy in the Auvergne several times, there is a type of volcanic outcrop called a "puy" named after the outcrops in the valley this town is situated. The place is awesome and I was pleased I visited it. I was very interested in the Thirty Years War at school. I was lucky enough (by happy accident) to live in Osnabrück, Germany for four years. The Peace of Westphalia was signed in the town hall there, it was the treaty which ended the war...... fate?<br />I love going places but I love going places for a reason.Johnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16549866123544820994noreply@blogger.com
