Now THAT is one great fairy tale castle!

I had no idea that existed...fantastic! I looked it up on the English Heritage website and wow! We have to get over there one day.

Have you ever seen it? We should take a road trip there, the 4 of us, don't you think?

That's lovely!
It looks like something from a Grimm's fairytale

Road trip! I do think so.

The finest fortified manor house in England- according to English Heritage.

It's almost too good to be true.

Yes. :)

You had a gorgeous day for it - Shropshire is beautiful in the sunshine.

Can it be seen from the train? I remember seeing something very like that once, travelling from Bristol to Anglesey (and we did go through Shropshire), and saying 'Wow!' but not being able to find out what it was...

We managed to pick three days of sunshine from a mass of indifferent weather

I wasn't aware of passing trains, but according to the English Heritage guidebook there's a station at Craven Arms just a mile away.

I should have checked before, but it does run very close by. I'm 95% certain it's the same place.

I'll meet you all there! And I'll bring the picnic.
