Castle bothering - Grosmont

 




Sorry - I missed out the map which was shown above this.



I couldn't climb up the stairs as there were two couples and their dogs further up on a walkway, and the whole atmosphere of the castle would have been lost.




How's that for a chimney?





The moat was pretty impressive too.





HERE is the Wikipedia entry for the history of the castle.  Skenfrith is nearby, White Castle a goodly walk away (there is a 3 castles walk).

Sorry to be short on words, but this is another of those middle-of-the-night postings, so it's just photos.

    A fascinating castle. I always try to imagine ruins when they would have been in their prime. Sorry you are up in the middle of the night. I hope you got back to sleep.

    I'm so glad you looked up Fr. John Hawes. Now another thing for you to Google, here in the west we have the only monastic town in Australia it's called New Norcia it's a very important part of our history it is situated a couple of hours drive north of Perth in wonderful farming land. Walking pilgrimages take place several times a year by different parishes, the monks offer retreat accommodation and there is a hotel there also the monastery museum and art gallery is magnificent for such a very small place. More homework for you. From Shirley.
