Built by the Neville's in the early 14th Century, owned by the Vanes (lord barnard) since the 1600's. Kitchen the original medieval one .. unfortunately, no internal pics, not allowed!
this is the castle from the car park:
and this is it from the other side, across what they call the high pond:
This is a VERY interestingly clipped yew hedge of some age, in the walled garden:
and in the middle, yes it IS a white stag:
it's on days like this I wish i had a camera with a better zoom .. i almost wished i'd brought out the film camera, which i haven't used for some years but no doubt still works and does have a better zoom...
That was our Bank Holiday sunday trip out; Molly got fed, but not tried in the arena to see what's happening as by the time I got to her it was raining and i got very wet. tea and turned out again. Hopefully (I doubt it, forecast is bad) i'll be able to have a better look tomorrow.

Love The White Hart!
Sorry to hear the weather isn't too crash hot, think we've stolen summer from The South :o
love that hedge!
great isn't it....
we've been meaning to go for years!
Wow! Cool place. They have interior pictures on the castle website. Wonder why they don't allow pics inside? Maybe worried about flashes damaging the paint, etc?
Looks like a real fairytale castle. Love the white stag. It just adds to the magical mystique.
Loved the pictures! I am going to see if I can find the website.
