Not La Rochelle, but correct country. Very historic containing rather a long history.

Not Tours, further north.
English tourists are drawn to this place for two reasons, separated by one thousand years.

You have it, I visited some time ago and explored the town, visited the CWG on the outskirts and viewed the Tapestry, despite being in France it is a lovely town.
Well done FD2, your turn to shoot.

4M I am pretty sure that it is a free house. Excellent grub but not been there for a few years.

Edit, no. Just checked the list of Arkells pubs.

Once it had been established as being in Cheshire a search of pubs in Cheshire produced it rapidly.

I had better declare OH as I am out for a meal shortly and tomorrow is taken up with returning to Taipei, so it will be a couple opf days before I can log on again.
