Recently I took a short bicycle ride to Someries Castle, which is just inside the boundary between Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire. It is an old manor house which is designated a castle, which boasts the fact it is the first brick built castle in England. If you want to read more look on Wikipedia and type in Someries Castle. The original occupants, if they were alive today, would wonder where the noise comes from because it is right next to the runway of Luton International airport. Just a 10 mile ride today.
