Oh my, this castle has some of the silliest reviews I've ever seen on Yelp. One visitor is…read moredissatisfied that this building from 1911(!) is not medieval enough. Another complains that this is not a castle (actually, it perfectly fits the definition), and that the residents did nothing of importance. As opposed to all those achievements of the vast majority of British nobleman who spent their life sitting on their ass collecting rent from tenants? At least this man worked hard to build his own fortunate as a grocer; a true self-made man whose had-work and ingenuity allowed him to retire by age 33 (though he never stopped working). That's more than I can say for most noblemen. In reality, this 20th century castle is a beautiful building designed by one of the great 20th century British architects, Lutyens, who is also responsible for the famous London Cenotaph. Unfortunately, flaws in the building design, relating to the use of asphalt for roofing, allowed the building to suffer nearly a century of water damage. Since asphalt was quite new at the time, nobody fully understood how it would behave over time; that it would expand and contract with fluctuations in the temperature, and that it would eventually harden and crack. The National Trust is now lovingly restoring the building, which gives users a unique 'behind-the-scenes' look at how a castle is built. What this means in practice is that they allow you to still visit the interior, albeit partially boarded up but with displays to show you its ordinary appearance and to tell you more about the history and work in progress. But you also get to climb up the scaffolding to look down into the building, which currently has its roof removed. A unique opportunity! Drogo was a great Easter destination for kids too. They did an easter egg hunt, and they had an indoor game for children as well, helping them to learn more about life in the castle. And no matter what time of year, you can enjoy the gardens, have a picnic or play games on the croquet lawn, or enjoy a good lunch at the cafe. I had a savory scone that was delicious, and my husband enjoyed a mushroom and cheddar pasta bake that was quite impressive too. The cafe and gift shop are accessible even without paying the entry fee!

Tells stories of Looe's Fishing history, ship building etc The Old Guildhall is Looe's oldest building!!! Dating around 1500. It is a Tudor building once magistrates court and cells. Right outside you can see a huge Cannon which I believe was from the Spanish Armada. The Cannon used to be infront of a Cafe on the seafront but in recent years has been moved to the Old Guildhall, which serves as a nifty resting place on a drunken Saturday night when you want to rest your feet before heading to Looe's one and only 'nightclub' (see picture) :D

The seating is well angled and comfy and the projector and screen quality are high (digital I would guess, not sure if 4K though). Sound system also seemed good and I did not hear any noise coming from other screens. My main criticism is that the management clearly have no clue about anything digital. The website is poor, the online booking system and ticket collection system are terrible. They are not listed on Google cinema. But ignoring all that, there's a good chance you will enjoy the movie.

She's good, and very passionate in a quiet way about her craft - a real traditional artisan who will probably carry on learning and experimenting until they pry the clay out of her hands. And she offers value for money - she doesn't do hugely expensive art objects, she makes affordable, useable heart-full objects that will fit on your table or your sideboard. She'll also welcome you with a tea and a talk about all the qualities of ceramics she so admires - and as you buy you can see her workshop and meet a true craftswoman.

You know Wallace and Gromit right? Well they were created right here (well at their old studios…read morethat burnt down) but they live here now! Animators/businessmen Nick Park and David Sproxton have done themselves proud with a new site for the stupendous studios. Now they've got themselves a proper place to house their Oscars for model animation. And man, have they done them all. As well as the aforementioned dog and man in their various adventures, they've done Morph, Creature Comforts, Chicken Run, Shaun the Sheep and Timmy Time, and, bizarrely, Peter Gabriel's Sledgehammer video. They've also filmed commercials and promos. Oh how I love 'em and their cute plasticine figures. Aardman entertain, provide humour, employ local people, create beautiful films and works of art with their progressive technology. All this fun and creativity stemming from little old Bristol. Aren't we lucky!

Many a Christmas of my youth was spent with the family huddled around the television watching the…read morelatest Wallace and Gromit episode. A source of much Bristolian pride, Aardman Animations are responsible for them, as well as the popular creature comforts series (the one with all the talking animals). Aardman do a good trade in slightly off the wall family animation and have been enjoying major success over the last few years, taking a clutch of Oscars for their feature length Wallace and Gromit films. They've also been venturing into computer animation with the release of Flushed Away. If you've ever watched a behind the scenes on Wallace and Gromit, you'll know why they only get a release out every few years. It takes hours of painstaking work, gently moving the arms of tiny little plasticine models millimetre by millimetre just to get a few seconds of shot. Very skilled stuff and you can see that they must be mad about animation to spend all day doing this. All the success is starting to show, and they've moved into a new purpose built building, a welcome change to the warehouses and flats that populate Spike Island (the land sliced up Bristol harbour that the building sits on). Just wondering into the lobby is a fantastic way to see these innovative people at work.
