However, I was less amused, when upon arriving at the town at 4.00pm, ready to take in some of it’s 1066 history, on a rare sunny day in October, we found that the Abbey and Battlefield had just closed.

Okay, it’s our fault for not noting the closing times.  But it’s just that we were there, and wanting to see the battlefield, and with so many other places that we still want to visit in the UK, who knows when or if we’ll go back.
