Day 5 Part One

On Day 5 we said goodbye to Logan and Sabrina, They were heading back to Germany. It was great to catch up with them and I know Spencer loved meeting his uncle and aunty.

Berry Pomeroy Castle

On Day 5 we thought we would start looking around at castles, This is the first when we went to it's called Berry Pomeroy.

What the Castle looked like when it was built

The only annoying thing about these castles is the stairs.... As you can tell they are quite a climb! I am glad Kurt was quite happy to carry spencer up them...

One thing I loved about England is the green grass! It is a very soft grass and you can just sit there and not have the worry about getting ants all over you.

A bit of infomation about Berry Pomeroy Castle

Tucked away in a steep wooded valley, Berry Pomeroy Castle is the perfect romantic ruin. Within the 15th-century defences of the Pomeroy family castle, still displaying a wall painting of the Three Kings in its gatehouse chamber, looms the dramatic ruined shell of its successor, the great Elizabethan mansion of the Seymours. Begun in c. 1560 and ambitiously enlarged from c. 1600, their mansion was intended to become the most spectacular house in Devon, a match for Longleat and Audley End. Never completed, and abandoned by 1700, it became the focus of blood-curdling ghost stories, recounted in the audio tour.Woodland walks from the car park (including steep tracks) provide fine views of the ruins from below.
