If you have longer, then maybe also think about visiting Roskilde, home to Viking ships and Danish Kings – post HERE. […]

Aw Helen, I’m so glad you enjoyed it and are in to the Viking world 🙂 It definitely didn’t feel like a tourist draw, it was 100% a piece of real history and I loved it. Like you I also love cathedrals, I find them super peaceful, even though I am not religious either. Thanks for reading 🙂

I love that this is a glimpse into history rather than tourist draw, if that makes sense.

The Cathedral is beautiful, far more ornate on the inside than the exterior would suggest. For a totally none religious woman, I do find myself drawn to these places!

I know, it would have been awful conditions – imagine 20+ men living, eating and sleeping on a boat for months!! The town was really beautiful with some unique architecture. Thanks for reading Ruth 🙂

The chessmen were made in the 1100s and are carved from walrus ivory. They were discovered in 1831 on the island of Lewis in the Outer Hebrides of Scotland in 1831.  They constitute some of the few complete, surviving medieval chess sets. Today, 82 pieces are owned and usually exhibited by the British Museum, 11 are on display at the National Museum of Scotland in Edinburgh and there are 2 at the Viking Ship Museum in Roskilde – you can read about my visit HERE.

The town looks interesting too. I love the buildings that looked like stepped roofs.

Aw I’m so glad you enjoyed reading it Juliette, thank you for your lovely words. The taxi price still stings when I think of it 3 months later!! But yes it was a really great day trip and a lovely place to visit 🙂

HA! You’re so right there, definitely not worth £90 of entrance fee!!! I know, it’s so confusing, I don’t know why they all use the same names. One should go crazy and call themselves Myrtle or something – then they’d be remembered 🙂
