Another place i love to run away to is Ashby de la Zouch castle ....in the week when the kids are at school its deserted, you have the whole castle to yourself! i take my flask of coffee and lunch ...its a fantastic site!! So anyone else have a 'secret' or special retreat? ( that your willing to share obviously!!) My favourite: Pictures \| Towns \| Attractions
