The Eleanors: From Aquitaine to Castile

This episode is probably best if watched as a video on Spotify or YouTube, but should also make sense by listening. I'll include a link to the images discussed. My visit to Buckfast Abbey was a surprise. My trusty guide Nigel did not tell me we would be stopping there but it turned into one of my best memories from my trip.
