National Trust - Bembridge Fort and Downs

Tourist attraction

👍👍 A fascinating 90 minute tour of this old fort, first built to defend against Napoleon, later defence in WW1, and a barracks/radar station in WW2. It's in a pretty tumbledown state, but that adds to the atmosphere, IMHO. Don't expect fancy displays, though, it's a take-me-as-you-find-me place. Steve,...

Eaton Socon Health Centre

Medical clinic

😠 I have been with this practice for over 50 years and it is now absolutely terrible. I made an appointment with Dr Mears for Monday only to be swapped to another doctor. Dr Mears only doctor whose name I knew. For what reason I have no idea. He wasn’t one bit interested. Shortest appointment...
