Imagine a walled defence with a water filled moat surrounding it, inside is a Royalist Brigade, now imagine the English Civil War.
Oliver Cromwell troops successfully invaded this Royalist stronghold once, but were compelled back again to invade it a second time ! That's when Cromwell ordered the castles destruction.
Those stone walls are mighty thick I would have liked to seen the demolition take place. (o: You can find more information here.

Enjoy nature, Take nothing but photographs and leave nothing but footprints
As you say Phil walls like these would have taken a huge amount of effort to build and as much effort to demolish! A good photograph with great lines and the textures of the stones. (thanks for the link as well)

"Always go to other people's funerals, otherwise they won't come to yours." Yogi Berra. So, you should go and see My Gallery soon.
I don't suppose you were around to take a picture of the original castle. LOL. Really nice work on this. I like the textures in the stones, and the lighting.

A great shot of the old place, Phil. Those building blocks look like they've lost their original form. The arched windows really make this look more like a castle. Interesting history too. Thanks for the link. Guess this place has stood idle for centuries. Remarkable.

Wonderfully composed. Love the textures and light. Must be amazing to be able to visit such an old slice of history in person.
