I've heard so much about it. I hear you about history - even though Johannesburg is said to be the 'cradle of mankind' with the oldest human remains found there, very little of the city is older than 1886 which is when the gold rush started.Mandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11931248631361366673noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-21997738267398771052013-12-27T11:16:46.443+00:002013-12-27T11:16:46.443+00:00We used to go on school trips to Warwick Castle an...We used to go on school trips to Warwick Castle and I live very near Arundel Castle now - castles are amazing and so full of stories. <br /><br />I love living in a country with so much history; I always laugh when I watch American ghost hunter-type shows and they say "this place is ancient - it's nearly 150 years old!" and I think wow, most houses in my town are at least twice as old as that and the Tower of London is 1000 years old! You should check out Arundel Castle if you're down this way, they even have the prayer book that Mary Queen of Scots took with her to the scaffold (they have connections to the Stuarts) and nearly every treasonous plot in British history involves the Earl of Arundel. If walls could talk then Arundel Castle would have many secrets to tell.Urban Cynichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11357082153916573988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757405063506888257.post-80111373068544555432011-12-06T15:21:36.803+00:002011-12-06T15:21:36.803+00:00WOW, can you imagine living here.....

At £5 entry, it is worth it. <br /><br />@ Betty: I like that photo too.<br /><br />@ Mujerboricua: we were sooo lucky with the weather.

And lol at the LOTR reference.<br /><br />@ Nadia: I like visiting castles but would find them too cold and damp to live in!<br /><br />@ Sheila: Definitely! It is the first time I’ve focused more on the area surrounding a castle than the castle itself.<br /><br />@ London Caller: Really? After visiting Scotland I can definitely say that I’ll be back.<br /><br />@ Life Ramblings: Thank you!
