Orford Castle

Spending a few days with the folks in Suffolk so apologies for sparse commenting.

Comfortable indoors for the rest of the day as it's grey and drizzling, as per my photo this morning of this 12th century castle with its unique polygonal keep.

Ah, the castle on the hill that Ed Sheeran sings about :-) I think you're in the best place on this drizzly day. Whereabouts are you staying?

@Cherrill

We are in Snape - until Sunday. Hope you are OK.

It looks like a remarkably compact castle!

@quietpurplehaze Thank you- up and down I think covers it! But at work every day which keeps me going. Enjoy your Suffolk stay- Snape is a lovely place.

Good you can manage to get to work, Cherrill. This weather is not very comducive. Hope it will soon be more up than down.

I love the perspective the person in the foreground adds regarding the size of this. Great picture.

Great perspective and sense of scale in the neat shot

Looks a lovely place - I have never been to Suffolk. Great rolling grass against the architecture. Hope your weather improves.

[Bep]

Looks very solid.

Interesting castle it has withstood the test of time with its sturdy walls.

Magnificent castle :)

A delightful castle, it must really stand out up on the hill. It has been really well maintained. Quite a job I should imagine.

Lovely looking castle, I love the contrast of the stones against the plain corners - looks a bit cold there! 😊
