It’s been a bit of a castle fest this summer……
CASTLES seems to feel like one of the few things that the UK can still do well.
But then again I’m not sure how many castles here, especially in the north, come with wine vineyards. This beautiful castle in Switzerland does.

Both castles look so beautiful. And you’re right, there is something appealing about a vineyard on castle grounds. Your summer of castles and castling sounds wonderful, Gary.

Very impressive from the UK to Switzerland, but I think Switzerland wins since the vineyards are there!

There’s so many castles here in Wales. Sometimes they blend into the landscape so well.

they become part of the landscape. Remember walking in Scotland once and sitting for a rest in this quiet spot. After a while realised it was an old castle which nature had reclaimed.

The UK certainly has more castles than the US! I wish I could do some more architectural exploration one of these days. Hope you’re well, and give Hawklad a big hug for me! xxxxx
