All
I see castle on hill!
lets check it out!
steps!
ohh ancient!
gotta love those thick double doors!
view from somewhere not-at the top
The main keep structure
Many of the narrow stairs leading you further up the keep
More height = better view!
Few of the...
many rooms in the fort
Door or window? go figure!
The keep's court yard
These narrow steps were very steep & challenging to climb!
A group shot in our of the many rooms
I see the light!
claustrophobic stairs are claustrophobic!
I am at the top of the keep!
You can't get any higher than that!
The city view from the top
This should be the way out
An aerial view of the keep from the courtyard
That was a neat exploration
Apparently the keep was first made out of wood! Till it was upgraded in 1120s!
A walk round the fortress perimeter
With lots of excitingly creepy walkway's to boot!
A frozen moat by a not so frozen view
A house by the castle grounds
No castle is complete without it's own set of play cannons!
Inside the house, an exhibition
The dining area
Wooo mystifying!
Dinner's served!
General view of the dining area
Wall paintings
The open air roof bath area
You can't get enough of these dizzy stair wells!
The library
Outside the house in the evening
The fortress wall and lookout posts
You can't get any welsh-er with a dragon!
That's all for the castle folks!
This place serves very good cheap pub food & beer with a great setting to boot!
Off to St Fagans!
A chruch by the entrance
ooo frosty!
Is there food?
I guess we were little too early!
It does look pretty in there
But, yes we are early, open dammit!
