The remains of Pevensy Castle.  We went all through what was left of the castle, including the dungeon.


Catapult balls.


Beachy Head lighthouse.  This is especially for Liz.  The water is the English Channel.


This is called Seven sisters.  At high tide the water comes up to the cliffs and they are always being eroded away.  People take buckets and gather sealife in the tide pools.


Batemans.  This house was the home of Rudyard Kippling.  It is very beautiful.



This waterwheel turns a flour mill that still operates.  It has been refurbrished and they sell flour ground here at the store on sight,

The backyard of Batemans.  Wouldn't it be fun to have a cookout and party here?  Next to the trees is a large pond with a lot of water lillies and fish in it.  We could play croquet, batmitton and volley ball and still have plenty of room.  It has  an ungroomed place beyond the trees.

Leeds Castle.  It was beautiful.  It has a mote, beautiful grounds, maze, lots of swans and other birds and even a golf course.  


Leeds Castle is said to be the most beautiful castle in England.  I tend to agree.  This is the maze that is on the grounds and we went through it.  When we got to the center, there was a tower and below a grotto that we  went through and it let us out of the maze.

Some of the grounds around the castle.
