Took mum down to the South Coast for the weekend for some sea air. I know how much you all love to see a castle, so I thought I would post some of Arudel Castle and Cathedral. We didn't go into the castle as mum really wasn't up to it, but we are planning a return journey, just the 4 of us a bit later in the summer.
WOW what an impressive building!! I can just imagine knights holding jousting tournaments in the grounds and wolfhounds lying on the floor of the banqueting hall waiting for leftovers from the tables. :-D Thanks for sharing your day out with us EJ. So glad to hear that your mum is feeling better and I hope she continues to do well.
Castles and cathedrals are always interesting to me. I quite like the architecture. They are often impressive outside, but a careful examination of their interiors also reveal some gems often. Thanks for showing these pics they are very nice.
What a grand building! Thanks for sharing...look forward to seeing more pics from your return trip. :-D
Here is the castles website. Seems it is older than time! http://www.arundelcastle.org/_pages/01_castle.htm I think is was built around 1042. Shows they knew how to make buildings last back then!!
I do love castles, the Norwegians never got around to making any of those. I'm born way too late I think. I'd have loved to sneak a peek at what it looked like in the 1100-s.
