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.

Basingwerk Abbey *Free Site*


Substantial remains of Cistercian abbey, originally founded as a house of the order of Savigny in 1131, remodelled in the thirteenth century.
There is parking in two car parks either side of the site, a small walk from the car park to site
The abbey it's self is pretty level, interesting sections to explore.
No Staff Or Toilets at this site
Dogs on lead welcome
Best Bit - Arches and doorways
although surround by busy roads the site is of the beaten track, ideal to have a picnic, reflect, draw and photograph.
