The view from my aunt's home in Yorkshire
The view from my aunt's home in Yorkshire
I'm American, but my mom is a Geordie. We always visited my aunt when we went to England and i thought her living right next to a castle was the coolest thing ever.
Weird, I was just looking yesterday at a trip to Richmond castle, getting incepted over here
I don't remember there being too much to do since the castle was in really rough shape last i visited. Some plaques to reads, walk around the grounds, climb up the keep and gaze at the countryside. I wouldn't plan a whole day around it, but it's a lovely way to kill a couple hours if you are gonna be in the area.
Does she have a pseudo battlements feature going on with her wall?
It's been about 20 years since i visited, and my mom sent me the photo since she is visiting. All i can really remember is that her house is over 400 years old and the back garden runs right up to the castle wall. There is a walled off courtyard between the house and the street, so that might be the battlements.
Ah, so they might be actual battlements. Very nice.
Wonderful sight. I loved travelling the south coast of Brittain. We had some detours and it brought us to places just like this, taking us 100s of years back in history.
I live in a region in the south of the Netherlands that has a rich Roman history, near the center of the old Carolingian empire, we have quite some historic beautiful views as well.
