Storming the Castle


Our first stop was to a 15th century castle. When we pulled into the parking lot we were greeted by two grey horses and two hunting dogs. Ian decided to try and feed the horses a rice cake which they actually ate and the dogs ate up the crumbs. After our little impromptu tea we walked on to see the castle. The path runs along a lovely little stream and there was lots of wildflowers in bloom. Unfortunately the castle was closed and we cold only see the exterior of the ruins. However, feeling a bit saucy after my rough night I decided to find a way in anyway. It was actually quite easy and we just had to climb down a few rocks and around the entrance gate to get in. We did a little gallivanting around the inside of the ruins before hoping the fence again and heading back to the car.
