It's a lookout tower, part of a big long wall that used to protect this big estate. Now the estate is known as Woodstock estate and gardens. The estate itself burned down, it's only the ruins left of it but the gardens are still there. It's only 10 min from my house! From the window in the ruin you can see, you can overlook the valley and the village I live in.
Ohhhhhh.....take me, take me!! I started humming 'The Itsy Bitsy Spider'. LOL What GREAT photos! Makes me all the more excited for the leaves to be turning here.....now all I gotta do is locate a tower wall....and a naked birdie...

and ME, what normally is a 40 min walk today took 90 min!! But it was much more enjoyable than walking to burn calories!
These are absolutely wonderful - I feel as if I'm walking along.
ReplyDeleteI would love to check out that ruin, is it a castle wall, a Church, whatever it's a place to explore.
