      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.

      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.
