This is starting to be a bit of a trend for Bryag and I - monkeying up castles :)

We spotted the opportunity whilst out for a few beers ( and a Pimms or two ) at the weekend, so returned t'other night with cameras...

I won't say what this place serves as, only if we'd been rumbled, we'd probably have gotten to see the interior as well as the exterior :(

It has an imposing location in the City centre, about as high a place available, so all good, not stunningly high, 5 storeys I guess, but you get what you can ;)

Looking upriver towards it, older section we did nearest:

From the front - newer section, we didn't access this :

Cracking views once we got up :

Really enjoyed this one, and great to get some views of my home-town most folk don't :w00t

A 'ghostly' me atop the tower :)
