Begun in the late 14th century, Farleigh Hungerford Castle was for 300 years the home of the Hungerfords, a family that after distinguished beginnings suffered a series of disasters and scandals – some of which took place within the castle walls. A ‘romantic ruin’ since the 1730s, it retains two of its corner towers, parts of its outer courtyard defences and a well-preserved chapel with outstanding 13th-century wall-paintings, family monuments and collection of unusual anthropoid (human-shaped) lead coffins.

We enjoyed my 60th birthday meal so much we decided to repeat the menu for Valentine’s Day.

Today was so chilly that I had to resort to wearing a hat on my walk. Normally I get overheated when I wear a hat!
