Day 5 Part 2 - Old Wardour

After a long drive we decided to go to see Old Wardour, Which was very worth a long drive and a screaming Spencer.

The Front of Old Wardour

After being there 10 minutes an awful thing happend I got stung by a wasp!! It was my first sting EVER! Kurt told me to get over it! But I still have a scar from where the mean wasp decided to sting me!

A door at Old wardour

As you enter in the door you see this. I think it's just beautiful.

This is the entrance to Old Wardour... It was a perfect moment as the sun was coming through...

What I love about these old castle is that you can actually get married there. Kurt and I both decided that if we had to go married again and in England we would choose this place to do the ceremony at.

More about Old Wardour Castle

Beautifully sited beside a lake, Old Wardour Castle was built in the late 14th century by John Lord Lovel as a lightly fortified but showy and luxurious residence. A hexagonal tower house ranged round a central courtyard, its form is very unusual in England.After decorative updating in 1570, the castle was besieged in turn by both sides during the Civil War, and badly damaged. During the 18th century it was incorporated as a romantic ruin into the landscaped grounds of New Wardour House, which was built by Lord Arundell (not managed by English Heritage, no public access). The castle's setting in a Registered Landscape indicates the significance of this hidden jewel.Part of the Kevin Costner film "Robin Hood, Prince of Thieves", was filmed here.
