You take a train to Northumberland and spend a pleasant afternoon exploring Aydon Castle! You imagine a roaring fire warming pans in the kitchen, enjoy an invisible Royal banquet at the grand table in the Great Hall, and stop for an ice cream in the orchard.

There aren't many other visitors, yet you overhear more rumours of the spreading infection. An hour before closing, you're approached by one of the castle staff keen to head home to safety. You're the last remaining visitor, yet since you look prepared, they're leaving you the key to lock up when you leave.

It's a long way back to where you're staying, and if what you heard about the pathogen favouring soft furnishings is to be believed, a castle could be the safest place to be, anyway.

Where do you choose to sleep?
