Sunday morning and off to see some Midlands sights. This is Ludlow Castle. The town of Ludlow is almost exactly preserved as it was at the time the castle was occupied. The castle was interesting and had many places to explore
This is the front entrance to the castle. The Moat was empty and was a "dry moat"
The buildings in Ludlow are very old.
Ludlow castle may be old but this is older. An ancient roman ruin north of Hereford. This wall formed part of a massive Roman bath house.
Much of the foundations, but little else remains of this location.
Monday and time to head to Cardiff, what or WHO will we find here? Ahh a TARDIS! this must mean the Doctor is nearby...... but if the Doctor is around then there may also be .....
EEEK! DALEKS! Daleks and Wombats do not get on. This one waved his sink plunger at me and threatened to E-X-T-E-R-M-I-N-A-T-E me. I beat a hasty retreat and left him for the Doctor to deal with.
Far better to see a castle. This is the central keep of Cardiff Castle. Which is mostly original.
Here is a view from the top of the ramparts.
And despite the castle information describing these holes as "POST" holes. I am convinced that they are evidence of wombat inhabitation. they are very cosy and just the right size!
Travelling back to Hereford, here is a view from the top of the national park. Lots of sheep and grass but no trees up here.
On the way down we came across a canal and a lock. A canal boat was using the lock at the time and we were able to watch and help a bit.
Here is the canal boat now up at the right level and ready to proceed to the canal.
More soon !
