Another revisit for me here. Given I was driving past the turn-off to Torksey and the weather was very bright and sunny compared to the first visit when the weather was very flat made it an easy decision. I won’t do the history bit again as you can find it here. I’ll just get on with the pictures of this delightful ruin on the banks of the River Trent.

Superb day for a revisit!

Not much has changed since my last visit:

Still plenty of old fireplaces hanging around:

And the four front towers stand just as well:

The end one is a little worse for wear compared to the other three:

Some of the stonework on the windows is a little precarious:

Although this set in the first tower look solid enough:

Perhaps not hang around too long in the second tower:

On the inside looking out. Nearby power station not pictured:

And just a couple of panorama shots of the castle in its full glory:
