Thank you very much Annemarie.

Still impressive, in its time it must have been even more so.

Thank you George. There was a model of how it once looked. I will upload it soon.

Sehr schöner Turm und Aussenanlage! Wünsche dir einen schönen Tag!

Good evening.

Beautiful and interesting pictures!!!!
All our European countries have many medieval castles (or more recent) but I nevertheless believe that England is well at the top of the ranking!!!!!!!
Have a nice tuesday evening*******

Thank you very much Nouchet.
I'm not sure about that, but you could be right.
A lot of coastline to defend :-)
Have a lovely evening.

Looks like a good place to visit Rosa. As the comment above implies, we are lucky to have just so many of these castles about. Well done.

Best Wishes. Herb

In the 1960's I used to go with my father to motorbike scrambles in this village. You could see the whole course from the hillside. I remember passing the entrance to the castle, but until now, I had never visited it. I was surprised at how interesting it was, despite being a ruin. Many thanks for your kind comment Herb.

Best wishes, Rosa.

Two very impressive image Rosa..............both captured in super sunshine and full of lovely detail.

The tower looks quite magnificent..........and seems to be in pretty good condition. Anyone on top would have had a cracking view and be well placed to defend the castle.

The PiP gives us a bit more context and shows the defensive walls..........the church looks quite beautiful and I note it has its own walls too.

It looks like an interesting place to visit. I'm sure you told me a while ago that you'd changed from an NT membership to an English Heritage one!

Thank you very much Keith. I couldn't believe you had to drive through the castle grounds to the car park! I kept thinking I was wrong!

The most interesting part was the church and the buildings behind it, but the views from the grounds are fantastic. Will show more of it in the coming days.

You have a good memory Keith. That's right. I have until the end of the month left on my NT membership and I started the English Heritage membership on this visit.

De belles photos qui nous emmènent sur les lieux et qui donne envie chère Rosa, tu as profité d'un temps superbe et les vieilles pierres sont si belles sous la lumière, c'est vraiment un endroit fort agréable !

Thank you very much dear Jocelyne. Yes, very lucky with the weather and I would definitely visit the castle again.....I will take my daughter next time. She will love it :-)

Hi Rosa
A wonderful and interesting picture, which I like very much!
The great walls of the castle!
Best Wishes, HWW, and stay safe!!
Peter

Hi Peter,
I am pleased that you like these pictures.
The castle is in a lovely and very hilly village.
A great place to visit.
Best wishes,
Rosa.

Splendide prise ma Rosa ******************de gros bisous et bonne soirée mon amie ♥

Thank you so much my friend.
Good morning and a happy Wednesday.
Kisses***********

Two wonderful images Rosa,
An impressive tower and a beautifully maintained site !

Thank you for posting your image in the group

Thank you very much Roger.
Thank you for accepting it in the group.

A very dramatic entrance to get to this castle, Rosa. I notice you have mentioned changing to English Heritage. I hope it's worthwhile in the region where you live. Here we have a saying that it is 'never knowingly open'. ;-)))

I was very taken with this place Amelia. Well, we shall see how often EH properties are open. I know that Stone Henge, Wardour Castle and Old Sarum are open 7 days, and those are the ones I want to visit soon. Many of their properties in this region are actually free to walk around, like Avebury and Nunney Castle. I'll let you know how I get on next year :-))

HERE IS RAPUNZEL ? !

Long gone Pam ;-))

A beautiful tower, Rosa. It would fit perfectly into my "Happy Tower Tuesday" album :-)
I'm back from France and trying to catch up...

Lovely to see you back Edna. You have a "Happy Tower Tuesday" album!? :-))
Take your time catching up. Love what you have posted from France so far!
Have a great weekend.

Yes, I do! :-)) I started it sometime ago...
I'm pleased you like what you've seen of my France photos so far. There will be more. However, next week my bathroom will be ripped out because of a water pipe leak, so unfortunately I won't have too much time for IP in the coming weeks... :-((

We have just had a new bathroom fitted Edna :-) A few little ends to tie up, like the pipe coverings, but the plumber is in France for five weeks....three weeks to go!!

Well, I guess it takes patience ;-) For me it's not a new bathroom for fun, but a leaking pipe that requires all that work. At the end, it's going to be the same old bathroom...I just hope it won't take three weeeks!! At least the noise won't, I hope...

I hope it is better after the repairs Edna....A leaking pipe is worrying!

A leaking pipe sure is...but for the people in the apartment below mine!! I didn't even notice the leak because the pipe is behind a tiled bathroom wall. Well, let's hope so...I'm trying to convince my landlord to a shower cabin instead of a bathtub ;-)

Preciosas fotografías del castillo, con color inmejorable. Saludos, Rosa.
