The gatehouse at Stokesay Castle looks like it’s straight out of a fairy tale! 🧚

#DYK the lintels and brackets on The Gatehouse are finely carved as contemporary men and women, angels, dragons and Adam and Eve? 🐉

Who would've thought this serene spot had such a wild past?

Lanercost Priory, nestled near Hadrian's Wall, has seen its fair share of action, enduring attacks during the Anglo-Scottish wars, including a visit from none other than Robert Bruce himself! ⚔️🛡️

It's easy to see why this was once a symbol of Norman power 💪⚔️

Today Launceston Castle's grounds are ideal for relaxing and picnicking while you enjoy the great views of the surrounding valley - the perfect way to spend a #feelgoodfriday 🥪

A bird's eye view of one of the few surviving Cromwellian fortifications in Britain. 🦅🏰

#DYK that Cromwell's Castle was built in 1651 to guard one of the main routes of entry to the Isles of Scilly? Nearby King Charles' Castle was destroyed for building material. 💣⚔️

Step back in time at Furness Abbey! 🏰✨
Experience a reconstructed historic night staircase, once used by medieval monks under the cover of darkness.

Thanks to FCC Communities Foundation, visitors can now climb to the first-floor level of the monks’ dormitory and enjoy unseen views.

As with many prehistoric monuments, the exact purpose of this earthwork henge remains unknown.🤔🗿
