Comments on: A Photo Walk… http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2021/11/28/a-photo-walk/ Random thoughts and photos of my journey through life… Tue, 28 Apr 2026 16:50:51 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: CherryPie http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/index.php/2021/11/28/a-photo-walk/comment-page-1/#comment-65597 CherryPie Mon, 06 Dec 2021 00:06:16 +0000 http://www.cheriesplace.me.uk/blog/?p=24181#comment-65597 There is a lot to be said for both approaches. My most recent visit (today) is a ruined castle that had been taken over by nature before English Heritage took it on. It has become place of SSSI. Should that be restored or should nature be allowed in all its glory? There is a lot to be said for both approaches.

I know you would love the place :-) I am not sure of the date of the tiles. The guidebook was unavailable on my visit. I was advised that they were awaiting supplies! Annoying for me, I love to read about the history and other information of the places I visit. I hope you get the chance to visit. I know you would love the place :-)

The present always builds on the past. I think it is a shame to see all ruins remaining as ruins when they could become so much more again.

Carcassone is another that has been restored but not faithfully restored to the original it is the product of artistic license.

Jedburgh Abbey would not need much work, and of course Eilean Donan Castle has already been done fairly well.
