That's lovely.

I do envy the people who can go for a walk and see things like this.

It's a lovely area where I live Nanny!

We have to get a bus or train to the nearest country side and we haven't been able to do that with the weather being so bad.

I'm looking forward to the nicer weather though and will make the most of it if I can.

Look at that, all tucked away and hidden, a gorgeous picture.  Castles would normally be up high...I must find out more about this one. You are so lucky to have all this wonderful scenery around you..

Ah...It's a 'mock castle'

Annie... Eastnor Castle is actually a mock castle (still an interesting place to visit) it was built about 1849-1850 at a cost of £85,000. The estate is vast and parts are open to walkers as long as they behave themselves. There are several lakes in the deer park and it's sometimes possible to see the Red Deer up close. Come and spend a day or weekend over here and I'll take you there, it's only a couple of miles from my place. I often park near the castle and walk through the deer park and make my way up to the Malvern Hills and the highest point in Herefordshire.

It looks so beautifully romantic, all tucked away and hidden..

i look at that and i can almost see the coloured banners flying from the turrets and the knights in armour riding up on their horses ....
