Houses of the holy

A warm day, a drive out, a medieval castle and an ancient church......

The houses of the holy

The castle is to follow

Knaresborough

Well, on the last couple of days of my holiday the sun came out.....I know, I cant believe it either! So on the briefest of sun spoilt days I decided to have a ride out to Knaresborough, home of a ruined castle and a rather spectacular bridge over the River Nidd, so without further ado, the pictures....

The ruins of the Kings Tower, the biggest remaining section of the castle

Very picturesque bridge over the river

Fancy a punt on the river .....

Loving the detail on the benches

Aha, colour pop!!!

A quick walk round the corner found me at Green Dragon Court

And yes.....a final 2 colour pops

Loving the ART .....

Alton Towers

Just before Easter this year i had a short break away and a day in Alton Towers, the rides were fantastic, but the ruined Stately Home was stunning...
