"A very nice property, not just the structure, which was basically built in three stages by three different families, but also the castle grounds. A large garden with all manner of flowers and trees, very lovely indeed."
The oldest parts of the castle was built in the late 13th century. Three families held the castle over the next 500 years or so, and each added something new to it.
Ruins.
I know how to locate the shitters.
I believe this was the Lord's room, with benches in a semicircle and a big, nice fireplace.
It was a spacious castle, with lots of rooms.
I believe this later addition was the Great Hall.
View of the main keep from the Great Hall.
Lovely pine or something like it.
The garden holds nice alleys of trees.
And benches.
And a green where signs give you stern warnings not to walk on the grass.
The lowest part, by the road, held lots of flowers.
A very British garden indeed.
Down by the ticket center, some local schoolchildren had made a map of the surroundings on the back wall.
