GUILD HOUSES' FACADES IN THE GROTE MARKT . 2
A row of guild houses that were originally built around 1580. During the Middle Ages, merchants in Belgium created their own unique, impressive halls to reflect their success. Typically, the varied, ornate facades had their coat of arms and a gilded statue on top. Some originals were significantly damaged by fires and wars over the centuries, but they have been faithfully reconstructed.

Roman Bridge
A Grade II Listed building, reconstructed in 1854 when previously a wooden structure. Located where the stream, actually the River Pol, enters Polperro Harbour. It has probably been remodelled several times over the centuries, due to the many severe floods that this fishing village has suffered. The road above it bears the same name.

THE ROAD TO THE TROLL WALL
The Troll Wall,near Andalsnes,is in the background,. At around 3,600 ft high, it is the tallest vertical rock face in Europe. At its steepest point, the summit ridge overhangs the base of the wall by nearly 160 ft .
The Troll Wall has been a notoriously serious for climbers and base jumpers. It wasn't until 1965 that it was first climbed, by a Norwegian team. The first parachute jump from the Wall was made in 1980 and the site subsequently became used for the modern extreme sport of base jumping. Although the Norwegian authorities made this illegal in 1986, and despite eight deaths there, it still continues from the Troll Wall.
