Side view of the castle

 

The water runs through the grounds and out to the sea

The view across to The Gower

The Castle from the footpath

Spring is nearly sprung - Primulas 

Spring colours already

Slowing down the movement in the water

The colour is hard to resist

No koalas here, but we do have glorious eucalyptus trees

Fungi from above

Fungi from below

So many beautiful trees to admire

One of my favourite for today

This maple (Acer) can be seen from the castle's tower

In the castle grounds

Ivy and archways - a powerful combination for an image

Adding to the splendour - Crocus

Just a hint of the formal garden

We're in no danger of a drought here!

A quick visit - October 2012

 The garden's looking very neat and green - view from the tower

 I love this view through the music room into the drawing room

 Such a beautiful sunny day

 An awesome view of the chimneys

 The dining room

 The view from the tower across to The Gower

 The renovations are moving along at speed now

 The view from the open window

 More work in progress

 The new log burner gives added warmth to the friendly welcome
