Castle on the Hill by 30pics4jackiesdiamond

Castle on the Hill

The Roundheads used a LOT of gunpowder to destroy Corfe Castle in 1645.

Websites on how, and where, to get a good photo of the castle state it's photogenic in all weathers. It was so windy walking up the hill I was almost blown off my feet, the rain was painful and the promised sun came out after we had descended.

The ants on the hill in the distance are more intrepid walkers.

It probably has a certain charm, but maybe not in today’s weather. Braver woman than me!

I've been there too and yes, you are right - so many sides to choose from. Those nasty Roundheads!

Great composition and processing - very atmospheric
