[QUOTE="SPark_South_Oz, post: 123545, member: 17032"] Nice Brian, and obviously nippy out. Thanks for getting up early on that frosty morning to shoot this in such excellent golden light. That's probably what most of us 'see' in their minds when they hear old English castle. A moat (may have been dry in this era), obvious defensive walling, wooden fence to slow down an enemy and give archers a chance to do their thing, secondary defenses, retreat paths, and the last stand ramparts of the main tower. The walled garden adjacent was good to see from the air, no doubt this would have been protected by the castle guards very well. I was intrigued by this location and history, so had a google . . .

The first structures were built of wood, circa 1120 ! This is apparently what it probably looked like from the ruins of today . . .

Thanks again for the effort on that cold morning and the work in editing for posting. [/QUOTE]
