You're standing at Westhove Castle, just outside Oostkapelle on the former island of Walcheren. A proper castle, with water and trees all around. Look up at the weather vane. There's a heron on it. It dates from the time of the Van Reigersberg family, who once lived here, and reiger is the Dutch word for heron. A heron for the Heron Hill family.
