Old Wardour Castle




This past weekend was a holiday weekend. Friday evening we went to a cook out at the home one of the guy's Alan works with. It was very nice to sit and talk with them. They just returned from Marietta. Chris is in the RAF and worked at Lockheed for the last four years. They loved it. They were talking about how beautiful they think it is in Georgia. Sunday we went out sight seeing and stopped at Old Wardour Castle. It was built in the 14th century by John Lord Lovel as a fortified but showy and luxurious residence. It was besieged in turn by both sides during the Civil war and badly damaged. One of it's claims to fame is being used by Kevin Costner in Robin Hood. The inside court is where RH returned to find his father.
