Photographs of Beautiful Castles

I don't have a great amount of time this week to write a long post, but as I also want this vlog to be visually pleasing as well as interesting I thought I would make a post of images for you to look through and admire.

Castles have always been one of my favourite styles of country house . . . before you shout at the computer screen I know a Castle technically isn't a country house as they were built way before the plush 'living in the country' style homes of the 18th and 19th century and they were built for defensive reasons rather than comfort. Nevertheless, I do have a big space in my heart for castles and I think their architecture is so interesting. I particularly like Castles such as Bamburgh Castle which are still lived in and have become family homes.

All of these images are zero copyright and have been sourced from websites such as Unsplash and Pixabay. Where there is a photographer to mention I have done but they have relinquished all rights to these photos. Just wanted to clear that up so you didn't think I was doing bad by any one :)

Right, here are the photo's . . . enjoy!

Oh I love looking at beautiful pictures of castles, and I hope you have enjoyed these too. I have recently set up a new Facebook Page called The Country House Hag which will be connected to this blog so if you haven't seen that page please do feel free to go and check it out and let me know if you like my blog. 

I will be back next week with a more informative piece. In the meantime have a great week :)
