Ripley Castle

I have been meaning to go to Ripley Castle for the last 9 years.  Phil bashed it for having some modern steps outside the castle, not a real castle.  I know it is free entry for Winter, but I still had not got around visiting.

We finally went today, it was much better than expected!  The walk around the garden is good, next time we will be walking around the lake.  Even bus 36 stops in the village.  The free period is up to end of March, we will definitely be going back again!
