@edgeg.bsky.socialThe entrance to Goodrich castle near Ross on Wye. Lovely architectural structures and a beautiful place to explore. Great views too.

@forestcollectiv.bsky.social#CastleSaturday and while the Alhambra is & has many things: Palace, Court, Church, Gardens
Its also a great fortress & the Alcazaba on the western side definitely fits the Castle criteria
...and it is just ludicrously pretty 🥰
See more of Granada in the episode >>>

@observethedate.bsky.social@forestcollectiv.bsky.social#CastleSaturday & while most of the more obvious Castle-y bits of St Michaels Mount date to updates in c18-19
...its still an incredible sight to behold
we took an impulsive drive to see it, as well as more Cornwall stuff which you can see here >>>

@observethedate.bsky.social@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialand couldn't resist ending the thread with ...what is still one of the greatest fluke shots we've ever pulled off
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialfinal shot from today, just liked this composition
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialA few more shots from the top of the castle
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialYes, if you didn't already know, Corfe Castle doesn't look like this just from the ravages of time
Corfe was one of the last holdouts of the royalists in the civil war & after an impressive defence mounted by Lady Banks and a few others, Parliamentary forces slighted the Castle
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialthen up into the slightly more ruinous fragments of the Inner Bailey
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialcarrying on with our walk up from today, the solid southwest gatehouse which ive not caught this close before
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialTo momentarily cheat & show you a previous aerial shot, this gives you a bit of a better idea of the successive layers of fortification added to the outer bailey in subsequent centuries
@forestcollectiv.bsky.socialIf you're unaware of Corfe Castles history, its current form is an unusually early & significant stone keep from the Normans, was previously a Saxon residence and the place Edward the Martyr apparently got shanked in 978 (never understood how that made him a martyr but...sure)
