This is Charlie’s third visit – in two years – to Beeston Castle, and he is rapidly falling in love with the whole site.  Of course in those days the slopes around the Castle weren’t full of car loads of people all having their picnic lunches and leaving litter.

But he does describe the very idyllic surroundings and paints a lovely picture of all that is desirable for country lovers to enjoy.  I feel there are many more visits to Beeston coming up in the years ahead, we shall have to wait and be patient.
