Beautiful photos. I keep meaning to take my mum there but it's always closed when she comes to visit us.

Thanks. Yes, it doesn't open often and when it does, the tickets sell out very quickly. I bought them back in October.

What a grand castle. I've seen the inside from the show. It must take a pretty penney for the upkeep.
There is a need to have more shrubs around the foundation. It looks a bit lost on that hill. I like the details you shot.

Thanks. Oh, yes, very definitely about the gardens. There isn't even a terrace for the gentlemen to stroll out and smoke their cigars after dinner. But mind you, since it isn't 18th century, there isn't a landscaped garden to view. But it could definitely do with a proper garden.

The rooms are actually smaller than they look on the television series, particularly the library and the hall.

Just wow. Thank you kizzikat! (I, too, need one of those wolf door handles!)
