the metropolis tower is one of the best monuments in keele i have ever visited, I highly recommend Thank you mahmood for the tour guiding i really appreciate it. The view was fantastic

Magical bluebell forest loved it !

When I was going to university Keele was the place one went to if nowhere else would accept you. How times have changed. The university is really going places and I can genuinely say that I wish I was going there.... The campus is lovely and range of courses is well suited to the modern age. Great that there is a vet school there now! Medical school is especially suited to current requirements. There is a foundation year that allows students to gain that extra confidence before starting their full degree. Impressive.

The woodland walks are calm and peaceful. They may lead you to the memorial garden, the little lakes or just interesting paths. The paths leading away from Keele hall towards the M6 reveal yet more lakes and streams and very interesting plantings. I only had an hour so i need to return for further explorations. The lakes hold a few birds and generally sit very well into the landscape. You have the constant companionship of the squirrels as they gather their harvest. A recent discovery for me, and why did i not know this before, is the 10 year tenure of the Grand Duke Michael Mikhailovich, grandson of Tsar Nicholas the 1st. His morganitic marriage meant he was exiled from Russia (4 previous marriage requests had been turned down) he landed at Keele hall renting from the Sneyd family. His exile no doubt saved him from the fate of his 3 brothers, all killed by the bolsheviks following the October revolution. If i can find out more i shall. I feel a story is in there somewhere as he became a local figure. He entertained Edward 3rd at the hall, unveiled a statue of Queen Victoria and became well known in his 'elevated' circles.

Lovely campus university. Some accommodation a little bit cramped, but so much lovely green space. If I was going to go to a university again then this would definitely be in the top of my list.
