24th February 2010 – Crumbling Crenellations!

This is a shot taken on the move as usual travelling towards Abergele from Llandulas down what used to be the old A55. The wall on the right is part of Gwrych Castle, a gothic folly built by Lloyd Hesketh early in the 19th century. Queen Victoria stayed in the castle in 1832, but it has had a succession of owners since, in recent years it has not been occupied at all and sadly its condition is slowly deteriorating.

I just liked the way the shadows of the crenellations fall on the hedge on the other side of the road. (There’s a big word for a Wednesday night!)
