Walking around an antique Castle! (Ruthin Castle in Wales)

I had a day off in Wales - in between filming Antiques Road Trip for BBC TV

Whenever I get a day off, I like to find somewhere local and interesting and make a visit…Ruthin Castle was recommended by a Twitter follower and I thoroughly enjoyed my few hours visiting the castle and the local town

Here’s a quick walk around Ruthin Castle and the town

How you enjoy it

Cheers

Thanks for sharing this beautiful castle and town. I wish I could visit. A stay in that castle would be amazing. I've always loved castles, even ruined ones but, sadly, no castles in Australia, of course.

Something I'd love to see - an interview with the Road Trip a/v crew. The show couldn't happen without them, and yet viewers never hear from them. Loved the peacocks; Georgian dandies take notes!

David, you have the life being able to enjoy a lovely place like this on your day off. Thanks for sharing. Mahalo.

I love the way the castle hotel is not too pristine - far more atmospheric - thanks again David -(I have to admit to having peacocks many years ago)

Saw a man walk past the pet shop in Ruthin I work at, I thought it looked like you. So now you’ve uploaded this, I see that it was! I would’ve said hello if I’d known 😄. Hope you enjoyed Ruthin!

Yes, it is stunning, thanks for sharing your "Day off" with us David. I wish I could make the trip! How did the peacocks get there? They're beautiful.

Protect from the English, go Red Dragon, go. Peacocks are not that pleasant early in the morning, quiet down out there. Yes, very enjoyable, thank you.
