I remember there were lots of extremely excited Japanese tourists going round at the same time as us, and that stopped it being as peaceful as we might have hoped!<br /><br />I did visit Brantwood once, but felt very strange while I was in there - a dark, gloomy feeling that I hadn't expected at all and that lifted as soon as I left.
