So I've been doing lots of exploring around the Castle and its grounds over the last week or so. Meghan and I have found a few narrow spiral staircases, a huge amount of heavy wooden doors, and some nice views. We have yet to get down to the dungeon (I actually have no idea if there is a dungeon, but I'd like to think there is).

We spent a good chunk of time treading around to explore more of the Castle grounds. We made it through a patch of field without getting stuck in the mud, which is a pretty big accomplishment.

We found ourselves on the Woodland Trail and, as the name suggests, we were soon in the woods. We navigated our way around Folly Lake and got to Folly House. Basically, the Victorian owners of the Castle didn't think it was cool enough to own a castle and 500 or so acres of land, so they built the facade of a house to make it look like they had more buildings on their land. As if having a castle isn't enough. Anyway, behind the Folly House there is some more woodland and a nice little stream.

We covered a lot of ground, but there is definitely more to explore. Every now and then, a flock of sheep mysteriously appears in the field opposite the Castle, so I think we need to figure out where they are coming from...
