Castlepalooza (1/2)

I went to a music festival called Castlepalooza that one of Clare's friends was involved in. It was at a c. 1798 castle that was partially restored, and partially wrecked. Also, there's a Freemason cave nearby!

Train schedule. Came in handy, 'cause people started saying there was no 10:30 train. Then Clare tried to take credit for suggesting taking a photo of it. :-) Latin above the fireplace. "Strength, caring, cedar trees, and no protesters!" Clare on a couch. A very old couch. The ceiling in the ballroom A coat of arms type thing, in a dark cabinet in the ballroom. A declaration, posted in the ballroom Oh, how I wish I knew latin Helmet-top in another dark cabinet in the ballroom Another hat in the ballroom Another hat Fancy decorations on the cabinet, I think. This was a photo I took in a dark little nook of the castle. We were outside, and couldn't see in, so I figured I might get something interesting with the flash. didn't. "Fear God, Honour the King." Now <em>that's</em> leadership Dark little stables type place Trough in the stables Looking up through a rather damaged ceiling Clare looking at something, in a courtyard with stables and workers' rooms all around it Clare, castle in background Some kind of old farm implement This structure wasn't quite as bad as it looked, but it wasn't very good either. Vines growing over everything Fancy woodwork, now rotting. mmm..shadowy Some kind of sink, same room as previous photo. Vines, debris Inside one of the little stalls, looking out An old carriageyfarmy thing Some hooks for workers' tools or jackets or something, presumably an old wood stove Up through a different cieling From the main bit of the castle, there were these short tree-lined avenues that formed a union jack from above. Each of them had these shorts stairs at the end of them The stairs were completely overgrown, and one of those things that makes you wonder what the world would look like in 50 years if everybody just disappeared. Or maybe that's just me. Just outside the main castle walls (not defensive). It's starting to get dark. A cow and a calf. Cow got angry with us slowing down to look. Inside a freemason cave Rock-work near Freemason cave barred windows on Freemason cave More bars River that was apparently diverted to wind through the castle's garden
