Description

The castle here is said to be the home of Uther Pendragon of Camelot fame. I'd imagined something more turrety and bigger - if only to keep Morgana happy - but maybe this was Pendragon's country man-cave?

Full Walk Details

This really is a doggiestop rather than a full-on walk, but if there are no sheep in the field then this is a fair sized space for dogs to have a good off-lead charge around. Perfect for ball games and chuckers. You can tell from the pics that it was hammering down with rain when Jem and I went to visit recently, but it really can be nice!
