Wine: Chateauneuf du Pape
WITH a name even Francophobes can pronounce and a very photogenic village home, the perennial popularity of Chateauneuf du Pape is no surprise. Indeed, it sometimes seems it has been present on wine lists since the Avignon papacy itself ended over 600 years ago.

ONE of three hotels owned by the National Trust, Hartwell House, in the Vale of Aylesbury, was first mentioned in the Domesday Book as belonging to a natural son of William the Conqueror.
