RE: The Black Castle

in Ecency Support7 months ago

That's a nice little film and very educational. There are so many ruined castles around our isles and they all have some history. The people who built them must have been tough and resourceful. Those were brutal times.

Absolutely man, it's mad to think of what loving through those times may have been like.

It's great seeing old castle and forts from near 1000 years ago, that are still standing and in good condition.

This one is near non existant anymore, but I've visted places where the old places and near completely intact.

In my home town of Bedford there is nothing left of the old castle apart from a mound. I think it was destroyed in the civil war. We do like a good ruin or historic building and have been to plenty. Of course there are lots of churches that go back that far too.

There's a place not far from where I live called Glendalough, it's an old ruin of an abbey, that was built some time around the 6th century.

It's a really nice walk to do on a good day, and as a really nice lake there too.
