After our look around the unfinished but neat and tidy castle it came as a shock - what we saw from the upper level.

The ‘home’ of a reclusive man.

At first sight – not too bad, until we walked around.

Piles as far as we could see.

So much mess. It’s one thing to say that mine spoil piles eventually work their way back into the ground, but this........

Log pile.

Catamaran and bike.

More stuff.

The BBQ and a pile of old work boots.

A big area.

Wouldn’t want to.

I wonder how many lorries this lot would fill.

Signs, more signs.

At least the toilet was fairly respectable.

Time to go. We’d seen enough – unworthy of the OCO.....
 
 
 
 
 
 
ALL IN ALL A SAD, SHAMEFUL MESS
                     BEAUTIFUL CASTLE SURROUNDED BY UNBELIEVABLE JUNK
