Nunney Castle
Nunney Castle is a rare French style 14th century castle with its moat still full of water. Walk around to the bridge and enter a very beautiful castle. Nunney Castle isn’t very big, but it is very scenic and very well kept Nunney is a castle that has been very well looked after and even has fish in the castle moat
Nunney castle was built in 1373. Sir John Delamere was the tenant-chief of this royal property of Edward III.
The church was already in place and in a very good position in the village so Sir John Delamere chose to build Nunney castle in a low-lying position.
The French style of the castle was a result of Sir John serving in the French wars, he built a rectangle tall castle that had a drum style tower in each corner and apparently was roofed like a French chateau.
The towers even today are almost untouched.
It wasn’t a castle that could withstand cannon fire, but was very suitable for repelling bows and crossbows.
The moat was among the deepest moats in England but had no portcullis.
The only serious duty of the castle was during the Civil War and it failed miserably.
The castle moat that is still in existence today, is still being fed by the little local stream.
The church of Nunney village in the background here, a very lovely rubbish bin and a sign that says TEAS IN CHURCH points you to the church in Nunney with an excellent view of Nunney Castle
Inside the walls of Nunney castle you can still see the original fireplace with its chimney and you can gaze up through the roofless turrets of the original castle
and the writings on the wall!

AVEBURY STONE CIRCLE
The megalithic stone circle at Avebury in Wiltshire this very special stone circle in Wiltshire UK is situated close by Stonehenge and Woodhenge and Long Barrow Wiltshire
The last time I visited Avebury I took pictures, this was approx 1992, I noticed some of the stones had changed since then, some due to rain erosion, some had huge chunks missing.
I compared some of the before and after photos and will be adding these pictures to these pages once scanned in.
Now I have a digital camera to take my photos in those good old days, I used a 35mm camera!
Enjoy these photos from the stone circle at Avebury, if you are interested in a copy of an original photo which was taken in high quality using a Sony Cybershot 10 megapixel digital camera.
And now you can also enjoy a local flight over the stone circle at Avebury Wiltshire UK.
