I could see from my window this morning that it was another gorgeous day, so I thought I'd try to get some shots of Spofforth Castle. Spofforth Castle was the home of the Percys before they bought Alnwick Castle. It's a very cool place, in spite of its ruinous condition. The ruins seem to just grow out of the surrounding rock.
Entrance to the castle, which I'm sure just gives the Health an Safety nannies fits!
Looking back up that scary stairway.
Steps to nowhere:
Wandering around outside:
Spofforth Castle is an unstaffed English Heritage property, so you can go whenever you like--although there's probably a restriction to daylight hours only. All-in-all, a great day out!
It's a chilly night, but I've still got the window open--mostly because I can hear an owl fairly close by. It's a little too chilly to leave to open all night, but I'm enjoying it for now.
