We are looking north-east up the valley to the town. St Michael's is on the skyline, and round the bend in the valley to the left is the site of St John's Priory Hospital, which cared for travellers and lepers from 1220 to 1580.

We use to call in to the chip shop on our way home from Scouts at Lowertown.
