    • Found the ruins of this 12th century on our way
      3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels Found the ruins of this 12th century on our way home after a weekend away. They're free to visit so you can go anytime. There's even an empty tomb sitting in the middle of the abbey!  #egglestonabbey   #barnardcastle   #weekendaway   #countydurham   #yorkshiredales   #12thcenturyhistory   #emptytomb

      3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels Ruins of a 12th century Norman castle. It would originally have been wooden and over the years it was rebuilt in stone and extended. King Richard III spent time here at one point and his emblem of a boar can be found in the ceiling of one of the windows  #barnardcastle   #3rdcastleoftheday   #countydurham   #yorkshiredales   #weekendaway   #kingrichardiii   #12thcenturyhistory   #englishheritage

      3 months ago by walkingonforeignchels 1st castle of the day, Middleham Castle. The boyhood home of King Richard III. He lived here with the Earl of Warwick until the Earl's death.
