One of our local castles

Just down the road from us, on the Rodwell trail is our local castle: Sandsfoot Castle. One Sunday morning Ben, Ella and I walked down to have a look. We are quite lucky because the castle was closed for a long time and was just reopened this year. I was lucky because the cafe was not open but I still had to outlay for an ice cream at a local shop on the way back.
It wasn't the largest castle to start off with when it was built and quite a lot of it has fallen into the sea due to erosion and some of the stone was taken for other buildings.

Not to worry though, we have been managing to visit a castle every few weeks, so we should be able find a bigger one.

We all love visiting castles too. There is an awesome one outside Amsterdam where you get to dress up and there's all these fun activities. And a book where you have to find stuff in each room...

see yous!
