Made by Jaxpix50
Found this tree shadow growing up the side of Skipton castle . Skipton is one of our favourite weekend places to vist. It has a canal, a street market , lots of pubs and cafes, a Thornton's sweet shop, small art galleries and a castle.. what else do you want from life!!!! The castle is medieval and we haven't looked round it for many years. .. it costs over £5 to look round so maybe next time!

The Dungeon

The Dungeon
Made by tonypreece
When you've spent time ina few, they all start to look the same. Probably because there's no windows, no external door, fresh air. Just bigt, brick walls to keep you entertained while you're legs are shackled to the walls in the dark, damp dungeon.

Its easy to see why Skipton Castle withstood 3 years of attack during hte civil war with walls this thick. And how round did they have to make those rooms?
