Crickhowell Castle

A good place to sit, no doubt when the sun is shining.

“Built in the 13th century by Sir Grimbald Pauncefote. Once a mighty stronghold guarding this stretch of the Usk Valley and the way through the Black Mountains. Like many castles it started life originally as a Norman motte and bailey castle built of timber in the 12th century.” www.breconbeacons.org/poi/castles-crickhowell-castle

Have a great day.

I like those moody sceneries and I agree with Maggs. The daffs are cheerful...and that should suffice ;-) I'd definitely spend some time on that bench...if it's not too cold :-)

Belated HBM, Herb, and have a great week!
