Nunney Castle ~ 1

Nunney Castle ~ 1
A picturesque moated medieval castle, Nunney Castle in Somerset dates from the 1370s. Its builder was Sir John de la Mare, a local knight who was beginning to enjoy royal favour. Much modernised in the late 16th century, the castle was besieged and damaged by the Parliamentarians in 1645, during the English Civil War.

Though ruined, Nunney's dramatic great tower is very well preserved. Its four round corner towers and connecting walls are tightly encircled by the castle moat.

Thank you Roger. A lovely little village and the castle is free to wander around and there is a lovely bridge over to the church, which were selling drinks and scones etc on the day I was there.

Three lovely images Rosa. I don't know what it's like on the inside, but the outside looks to be in remarkable condition for it's age and history. You've captured it very well, especially the detail and textures in the stonework.

I especially like the main image...........it sets the castle ruins in context and I especially like the pretty church in the background and it's reflection in the moat. The people in shot give us some idea of scale too.

Great work! I hope you're having a good week.

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Keith Burton club
Thank you Keith. The inside is open all the way up to the elements, but it is so interesting. You can walk into the turrets and there are some nice views to be had through the openings. I will upload some more pic's soon.

Thank you for all your very kind comments. Have a great day.

Hi Rosa

Such a beautiful set of images of this castle.

Superb colours, especially the top one, where the sunny day seems to be appreciated by those passing by too.
I seem to remember visiting here many many years ago, but no pictures of the day survived.

Best Wishes,
Peter

Hi Peter,

The castle in right in the centre of the village, which also has a nice cafe and good pub. Not far from Frome, which is always nice to visit. Thank you for your kind comments.

Best wishes, Rosa.

A very impressive structure, although it doesn't show so much of the castle I prefer the view looking across to the church

Rosalyn Hilborne club has replied to Peter Castell club
Thank you Peter. There is also a lovely bridge that leads from the castle to the church. It is a fairly recent bridge but there is an old one crossing the river in the centre of the village.
