The monkey rings that bell, but the times it rings it don't seem to be associated with the clock.

The building used do be a church, so maybe this is payback from Satan?

That's annoyingly slightly out of reach for such a cool place. Sounds like it's just far away enough to rule out for a relaxed day trip. These others all sound really nice actually, I've never heard of the Wychwood, I'm gonna research it.
Has Snowdonia changed its name? I went last year yet still missed that memo.

Wychwood is lovely (and has a great brewery nearby in Witney) - well worth a look in if you're in the area.

Snowdonia and the Brecons have been re-Cymraegified FWIW; though I doubt the new names will become part of the national consciousness for a while...

Both Snowdon and the Brecon Beacons have changed their names in the last few years.

Ah so it's switched to its Welsh name officially. I wholeheartedly back this decision, and it also means we don't have to change any road signs.
It's even possible to maintain crappy dad jokes, like "because it gets snowed-ON".
How would you visually represent a valley using just a letter? Er, with V? (Yr wyddfi).

... Ok, it needs work.
