a medieval castle by quietpurplehaze

a medieval castle

Bodiam Castle, Sussex was built in the late 14th century. Although it appears intact from this outside view, the interior is open to the elements although it is possible to climb up some of the towers - which I did in the name of photography.

The castle was originally a working estate with farmland, wharf and flour mill. It has fallen into disrepair and been restored over the years and is now owned by the National Trust.
Lovely photo Hazel.

Claire, thank you for your visit and comment. I do check from time to time to see if you have posted and I do hope that you are alright.

@quietpurplehaze I am fine thanks Honey but trying to help out where I can. Jude's Mum has come out of hospital she doesn't want to be in there now and who can blame her. The funeral is Wednesday and it is being arrange so she doesn't have to get in and out of cars too much. She finds this so very painful but hopefully by then she may have a lighter pot on. This does brings it a own problems though as then she has to try to learn to walk on that again.
