Direlton Castle

Another castle?!? Yep, and this one was a beauty! Direlton castle is just down the street from us here so we thought we'd take an easy day with the kids and explore close to home.
A totally blown out pic in part of the gathering hall. It was a quaint room with these little nooks with these really cool stone benches:

I seriously LOVED this place...it had a different feeling to it than some of the other castles. Adam says maybe because so much of it is complete?
Sounds good to me :)


It's big and comfortable (and has a HUGE kitchen...my kind of place!) It also is surrounded by gardens so it really is in a beautiful setting. There was a chapel, a priest's room, pit and prison, plenty of latrines, quard's room, and many, many other curious rooms.
Here is Syd is front of the main entrance wall to the Banquet hall:

They stored their food, including meat...stinky! I'm just glad it was only storing metal chairs!
