Powderham Castle!

So on Thursday we went to Powderham Castle in Kenton on our 1/2 day off. A reall Castle... it was very cool.
This is the rose garden. In front of the rose garden (so behind me taking the photo) is a deer park with loads of Deer wandering around.
We went in for a tour. It was cool to see all the secrete doors and stuff like that. Ben loved it. It was also cool to know that the Castle is still lived in by "the family" Dont ask me who the family is but yes they are related to the many Devon royalty that lived there many moons ago.

Our tour guide was old and did ramble on a little but i suppose he did know what he was talking about so that was a good thing.

Ben now wants secrete doors in our house.

After the castle tour we walked to the secrete garden... Thinking all nice roses and flowers again. Somewhere nice to sit in the sun...

Nope it was full of animals! There was a black pot belly pig wandering around with a sheep and some chooks. There were lots of other animals in cages that you could pat and all that. And i got to see my very first Chipmonk. I did try taking a photo of it but the camera kept focusing on the chicken wire not the chipmonk.

So that was our trip to Powderham Castle. Was very nice and we had a great day!

Sorry i took so long to do something fun to put on the blog.
