This is Stokesay Castle about 20 min north of our house. It made for an easy afternoon trip yesterday. It was chilly cold as the wind picked up and rustled through the castle. It is actually not a castle, but a fortified manor house dating back to the 1600's. We have bought a 12 month family pass for all of the heritage listed castles and monuments in UK which will make things a bit easier and allow us to be a bit spontaneous with visits. This was our first entry to a castle per se and it was amazing.
Check out the hand carved timber work above the fire place.
After listening to the audio on mp3, I began to realise that each of these castles generally speak a story for their area, the main families and generations, and local struggles etc. So its more than just admiring building,
