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.

Llanthony Priory *Free Site*

Being a massive Turner fan and always admiring this drawings and paintings of Llanthony Priory,
it's been on my wish list for some years but as it's tucked out the way and then 6 miles down a narrow lane, it's by passed us a few times.

There is a B&B on site and camping so you might like to combine a visit that way because it really does look a very tranquil spot to hold up for a night.

Dogs on lead welcome
There are toilets just by the car park, which are well serviced and have easy access
The car park is large, level and gravelled
Onsite is a bar / snack / light refreshment outlet

The site has a romantic feel about it but from ground level it didn't live up to all that I had hoped, the arches are beautiful and great to sketch / photograph but I think it's the walkers that get to see the site nestled in the valley who really get to appreciate it the most!

Best bit: The valley and watching the baby bunnies that run about the site
