One of my favourite places, and a great adventure playground for my boys. And on top of all that, it's free. Any clues? Let's just say east.

About Me
- Peter Ashley
- I am a designer, writer and photographer who spends all his time looking at England, particularly buildings and the countryside. But I have a leaning towards the slightly odd and neglected, the unsung elements that make England such an interesting place to live in. I am the author and photographer of over 25 books, in particular Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2006), More from Unmitigated England (Adelphi 2007), Cross Country (Wiley 2011), The Cigarette Papers (Frances Lincoln 2012), Preposterous Erections (Frances Lincoln 2012) and English Allsorts (Adelphi 2015)
English Allsorts
"Open this book with reverence. It is a hymn to England". Clive Aslet
Preposterous Erections
"Enchanting...delightful". The Bookseller "Cheekily named" We Love This Book
The Cigarette Papers
"Unexpectedly pleasing and engrossing...beautifully illustrated". The Bookseller
Cross Country
"Until the happy advent of Peter Ashley's Cross Country it has, ironically, been foreigners who have been best at celebrating Englishness". Christina Hardyment / The Independent
More from Unmitigated England
"Give this book to someone you know- if not everyone you know." Simon Heffer, Country Life. "When it comes to spotting the small but telling details of Englishness, Peter Ashley has no equal." Michael Prodger, Sunday Telegraph
Unmitigated England
""....an absolutely stunning illustrated book..." A.N.Wilson / Daily Telegraph

There's more than a passing resemblance to Castle Acre here.
Well Done Rate My Sausage. I can't believe I've just typed that.
Huzzah!
And I can't believe I just hit the nail on the head.
Castle Acre is indeed a splendid adventure playground for kids 5-90.
yes yes - marvelous - I believe you may have mentioned Castle Acre, and your fondness for the place, on these pages before. Particularly good monochrome this week. One of the downsides of leaving the house at 05.00 hrs is i don't get to have a go at your WTT? very often. Keep up the good work.
Diplomate, mea culpa.
I think I missed the "game" being to skirt around knowing the answer for a while. Sorry. I know now.
Peter - have you ever photographed sausages? Would you consider it?
RMS: I think I'd be good at photographing sausages.
Ah Mr Ashley. Photographing bangers now? Could be that you have found your sausage role,
RMS - I am just as quick to rattle an answer in if I'm around so you crack on - first one gets the big prize - you must speak to Ashley about that but it may be a barrel of beer or similar.
Diplo - full or empty? Either way, worth 'aving!
And Mr A, have you ever considered guest reviewing for a sausages website?
Castle Acre...Castle Rising...I remember once being very amused, in a juvenile way, to pass a signboard for Castle Roofing, a firm of contractors in Bishops Stortford. None of my non-historically minded friends got the 'joke'.
Google now reveals there are many Castle Roofings.
I know this website gives quality dependent posts and other stuff, is there any other web page which provides these stuff in quality?
