Banished to the tower

It was a wet and blustery day today so I decided to explore. I ended up at Croft castle which is more of a stately home . Initially Built pre doomsday 1085 as a fortress but demolished and rebuilt as a manor house a few hundred years later. The inside was refurbished in the early 1900s and has a Downton Abby feel about it. The walled garden was really beautiful with lots of structures for bees and bugs.
I then went on to Ludlow which is a medieval town. The church is beautiful and I climbed the bell tower (200 steps near vertical) to see the world in the rain. No bell ringers today but the auto bells rang the hour while I was up the tower. Awesome.Læs mere
