one was better than trying to rebuild the old one. Next to the library is the town’s oldest pub. Luckily, that wasn’t damaged in the fire. I don’t know if you can read it from here, but it’s called Den Glade. Perhaps that would be a good place to meet again after you’ve had a look round.
Extract 3 Voice: There are a number of sites and features in the northern tip of the country and they can all be visited in a day – certainly if you’re driving, anyway. I wouldn’t want to rely on the buses up there! There are four islands off the coast of the northern tip and all of them are interesting. You can get to three of them by boat and the biggest is connected to the mainland by a road bridge. The island just to the north of that one – so the island off the west coast to the north – is the home of an important bird sanctuary. The island is called Mowbray and there are boats every two hours that will take you there in about ten minutes. It’s a very peaceful place. Now, on the other side of the tip – so off the east coast – are two more islands. You can’t get to the smaller island, but you can admire it from the mainland. The larger island is home to Old Finkley. That’s the last surviving lighthouse in the country. There are ruins of others, but Old Finkley is in good shape and well worth a visit. You can climb to the top and get a wonderful view of the whole northern tip. Now, in the centre of the northern tip – so pretty much between the two sites I’ve talked about – is Breedly Castle. There’s not much left of it I’m afraid, but it was an important building in its day. It’s a nice place to stop for a picnic. There are better preserved castles in other parts of the country. About a 20-minute drive south going back towards the west coast will take you down to the Kneads Estate. There’s a lovely old manor house and some beautiful gardens. You can look around the manor house on Wednesdays and Saturdays. So, finally, heading back east and slightly to the south – and you might prefer to come here first as you drive up – is the Fowley Wildlife Park. It’s more like a big farm than a wildlife park really, but the kids love it. There are all the usual farm animals and some llamas and deer too. They’ve got some go-karts too, if I remember rightly. So, I hope that’s helped you and that …

and the reception desk is here on your right. There’s somebody at reception at all times – so if you have any problems this is where to come. You can change traveller’s cheques or exchange currency here at any time. Now, I’ll show you outside in a moment. It’s beautiful and sunny and I’m sure you all want to get out there, but let me just point out a couple of things in here first. The bigger room over to the left is the restaurant. There’s the entrance you can see from the foyer and another entrance out on to the outside dining area. There are always tables outside when the weather’s like it is now. The restaurant’s mainly self-service, but there are chefs serving speciality dishes too. Next to the restaurant, just here to the left, is the coffee shop. You can buy deserts in the restaurant with your meals and from the café that is set up outside in the evenings, but for a little treat or something sweet after your meal, this is the best place to come. It’s open from 11:30 right through to 1 a.m. Now, over to the right, next to the reception, is the shop. It’s not huge, but you can buy guidebooks and maps and all sorts of gifts and souvenirs. There are newspapers and magazines from around the
