I am currently in the UK, mostly England. I have been posting to my personal blog but WordPress is easier for photos and looking a castles, great houses and countryside is research for writing to my mind. I find myself inspired. I am three castles down, a UK Games Day down and York City down.
So for some photos.
We went to Bodiam and to Dover Castle in the same day. We were kinda knackered afterwards. I didn’t eat dinner and slept for 12 hours, which might be due to the fact that I was the driver on this little trek. Bodiam is not too far from Hastings (famous for the battle of) and then Dover Castle is in Dover (featuring white cliffs and a very domineering fascade).
Now for a few shots of Dover Castle and then we have to head out to explore York. More castle shots later.
It really was too big to get into the photo. Actually I realise this photo is the outer wall heading to the Great Tower. Apparently these walls had been lowered by about 15 feet to accommodate cannons.
Better go now. More later. I have Leeds Castle and Games Day to go, then maybe York photos.
the top picture with the bridge, i zoomed in, whats that in the doorway? is it a person, I can’t be sure?
Hi Zoe
If you mean the main door to the castle, I believe it is an inner door, dark wood. Though yes it does look a bit ghostly doesn’t it.
