This giant castle was another place for coming so close yet
so far! Our stop here was for a quick photo opportunity and to grab a coffee
while our driver took the bus off to fill the tank, which sadly meant that
there was no time to explore inside. This stunning coastal castle is so majestic,
and as the tide was out we actually had the chance to stroll along the beach
and do a complete walk around the castle walls. The keep is huge and still has
its original latrines (hopefully still not in use); and the large towers show
that it must have been a contender to battle with when under siege from both
land and sea. The trust had made a special effort to preserve the castle as it
still had banners over its entrance and a figurine up on the barracks; so hopefully
I will get the chance to return again someday and venture inside.
