These pictures were taken late January 2019 - Almost a perfect day to visit the wall as there were no crowds and the weather conditions were close to perfect.

Juyongguan Great Wall is one of the three most famous passes along the Great Wall of China, together with Jiayuguan and Shanhaiguan. 37 miles (60 km) from downtown Beijing, Juyong Pass was a solid stronghold encircling a valley, which was the northern direct access to Beijing in ancient times.
Basic Facts of Juyongguan Great Wall
Situated in a valley surrounded by mountains on two sides, it has long been a military stronghold.
It was first built in the Spring and Autumn Period (770 – 476 BC) and Warring States Period (476 – 221 BC) by Yan State as a fortification, and was linked to the Great Wall of China in the Southern and Northern Dynasties (386 – 589).
Zhu Yuanzhang, the first emperor of the Ming Dynasty (1368 – 1644), ordered the pass to be rebuilt to protect the northern borders from Mongol invasions. The extant pass was built then, and renovated in 1992.
The mountain to the east is the 492 feet (150 meters) high Cuiping Mountain, with 4,921 feet (1,500 meters) of wall on its ridges. To the west is 1,152 feet (351 meters) Jingui Mountain, with 3,937 feet (1,200 meters) of wall built on it. The walls on the two mountains look like giant arms cradling the buildings of the valley.
Juyongguan Cloud Platform

The pass is roughly circular with a perimeter of about 4,530 yards (4,142 meters) long. The widest point of the wall is 18 yards (16.7 meters), while the narrowest measures only 1.3 yards (1.2 meters).
It consists of two gates, one in the south and the other in the north, respectively called Nan (south) Guan (gate) and Bei (north) Guan. Two high watchtowers were built at each gate.
There is a high platform called Cloud Platform in the center of the pass. It is a white marble construction. There used to be buildings on top of the platform, but they were destroyed by fire and only the marble base remains. An arched doorway penetrates the platform. On the walls of the doorway, statues of four heavenly gods and sutra scriptures were carved.
Just imagine all the pilgrims who must have looked at or touched this .
We found this tile built into the wall of a medieval house in Walsingham , Norfolk. enroute to the shrine.
Walsingham in Norfolk is England's oldest shrine and is dedicated to Mary. The shrine itself was built in 1061 , 5 years before the Norman invasion of England. It was always known as England's Nazareth and was visited by pilgrims from all over Britain and Europe. it was visited by all the Kings and Queens of england from Henry 111 (c1226) through to Henry V111 . At the time of the reformation of course everything was destroyed and there is now only the outline of where the shrine was. The Augustinians built a priory near the site of the shirne and although that to was destroyed a wall or two remain to remind us of the magnificence of the buildings.
