@GPics @castlehunteruk @andrewsp2009 @RichardIIIGhost @zarahandley @cestyll Perched high above Bristol, the iconic Blaise Castle is more than just a pretty view!
This 18th-century folly was built to impress, but it hides a dramatic history of fortune lost at sea.
A must-visit spot for any history buff.

Ewenni Priory Church ⛪️

Separate from Ewenny Priory house 🏰

Still unclear why a small and not highly significant place like Ewenny would require such fortifications: were they built for show rather than defensive purposes?

Ogmore Castle 🏰
Castell Ogwr 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Norman stronghold founded c.1116 along the river and its famous stepping stones.

Stone keep, curtain walls & tidal moat still at this beautiful riverside ruin.

(Mind those slippery stones!)
