Donnington Castle

really tiny Zoe and Kyle

We are lucky enough to have a 14th c. castle ruin within walking distance of our new home. Rumor has it some of Chaucer's Canterbury Tales may even have been written on the grounds! 
We're going to try to pattern our weekends into one day of travel/ spending money elsewhere (i.e. Windsor yesterday), and the next day a bit more local (Donnington today!).  It was a bit rainy, so we didn't stay long, but it sure was neat to see.  Apparently on a clear day you can see for miles which quite makes sense for a castle location (and probably a reason why the castle held out so long during the English civil war!).
