Castles


Today was a perfect day in Suffolk, and so we decided to visit a couple of castles.  The first was Castle Acre.  It's one of the largest and best preserved monastic sites in England dating back to 1090.  The scenery was breathtaking!











The second castle of the day was the Castle Rising.  It is a ruined castle built in about 1138 by William d'Aubigny.  Much of the castle's square keep, surrounded by a defensive mount, is intact. 









Hazel's favorite part of the day was running around with her doggy on her back, watching the lady bugs, and smelling the sweet aroma of the daffodils.
