Pup Obi Travels

If anyone knows me well enough, they know I have a passion for castles and historic places.  As a child I was often taken to castles and historic places by my mum and dad.  So Whittington Castle was on the way too Llansilin so a day visit out included a explore of this castle on the edge of the welsh/english border before venturing to Llansilin to see friends and another walk around the valley.

The castle might have been a manor house at one time, but by 1138 it was fortified for William Percival. The castle’s history is varied and being on the Welsh/English border was an import location and valued structure. It past hands and owned and used by varying people in power. Today in a small village in England, Whittington is a lovely spot to explore.

Once we had explored Whittington Castle, which I enjoyed so much being a huge fan of castles, we paid a visit to mark’s friends in Llansilin and had a walk across the fields, sliding the bird and landscape. The horrors weather was an added bonus to the day.

We visited Llansilin a few months back and had a pleasant walk out then. April 08. July is much different at we had nice weather and the trees were in full leaf.
