#401 Project All the Train stations in the Netherlands 53. Boxtel

Arrived in Boxtel (station number 53) via the sprinter train from Eindhoven. It was fairly grey and the station and surrounding area looked quiet sad - so instead of heading into the main shopping area to see what was happening (and learn a little about the famous Boxtel Giant  who probably would not have turned up until Kings Day anyway)  I wondered down to Kasteel Stapelen.  An area that has been mentioned as far back as 1300. Given the weather it was not surprising that I had the whole area to myself - and that was a nice for an afternoon stroll. I recommend walking from this area to St. peters Bascilica and read the sign posts along the way. If you happen to be in Boxtel on Trinity Sunday - be sure to follow the 'Procession of the Holy Blood' a tradition in Boxtel from 1925.
