Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

Grosmont Castle *FREE SITE*

Parking is in the village, it is actually very hard to spot the sign for the castle as it's an old one
Short walk uphill on a gravel path then grass once up to the castle there a benches to rest ( I needed to rest before exploring the castle)
The castle it's self is pretty level, interesting sections to explore.
No Staff Or Toilets at this site
Dogs on lead welcome
Best Bit - 14 Century chimney
It is a nice quiet castle so you can explore / reflect at your leisure plenty to photograph and sketch
Lots of grass areas to have a picnic
