The outer wall
Farleigh Hungerford is a village in Somerset, England, 9 miles southeast of Bath in the valley of the River Frome. The Castle, which is now a ruin, played a significant part in the English Civil War. There is some evidence of occupation during Roman times; the foundations of a villa were excavated in a field just north west of the castle in 1822. Enclosed by a curtain wall with a cylindrical tower at each corner, the squarish inner bailey contained a selection of domestic buildings. Today only two of the towers and some sections of the curtain wall survive. The south west tower stands almost to its full height of five storeys in places, but the south east tower exists only a little more than its third floor.
Keep and Chapel
This impressed me, stone shakes
What it probably looked like
Ahhh, those doors!
