Guilford Castle and the Bowling Green

After the Battle of Hastings in 1066 William led his army to Canterbury and then sacked towns along the Pilgrims' Way, including Guildford. Later William, or one of his barons, built Guildford Castle There is no record of it in the Domesday Book so construction probably started after 1086.

Super captures of this castle, Laine. I agree with Graeme. Your pictures are so fun and interesting seeing these places I've never seen or would without your shots.

This is superbly composed with this framing. Love the lines of the benches too. Interesting history. V

Even as a ruin it is very imposing. I especially like the top image.
