Two go to a castle (or not)

Wray Castle is a huge lump of a castle which squats on a hilltop overlooking Windermere and manages to look both Arthurian and menacing. Although roughly Medieval in form it was built in the mid 19th century by wealthy Liverpool surgeon Dr James Lawson as a “retirement home” for him and his wife, although the story goes that she took one look at the vast stone walls and draughty rooms and refused to set foot in the place!

Although I can’t entirely blame her it’s still a fascinating place to potter...
