Today we visited the ancient and very picturesque little village of Wouldrichem located on several very busy rivers the Am, Meuse, Maas and Merwede. Wouldrichem is a fortified town and is surrounded by a medieval wall which we walked around. The entrances to the walled town have two cannons on each side of the entrance. There is a quaint fishing harbour with traditional Dutch fishing boats showing the towns centuries old history of salmon fishing.. There’s a working windmill, some museums, art galleries and lovely cobblestoned lanes to wander. Pretty houses with lots of window boxes with flowers and large pots of flowers outside every door. As you wander around here you can easily imagine yourself back in olden times.
