    Yeah, you're right. *confused* And would that be the Chesterfield in Derbyshire?

    Chesterfield is twisted rather than leaning - it is a member of the Association of Twisted Spires of Europe. Most of the European ones were built like that, but Chesterfield's wasn't.

    Bridgnorth is a town on two levels joined by the steepest railway in England and its castle slopes at a greater angle than the Pisa counterpart:

    That's a castle?

    It looks more like a huge rock...

    It's made of sandstone, was built in 1101 and hasn't been used for a few centuries so it would look a little dilapidated.
