Bodiam Castle

Uploaded by: onefourseven — Thursday June 9, 2011 — Bodiam, United Kingdom

One of the most famous and evocative castles in Britain, Bodiam was built in 1385 as both a defence and a comfortable home. The exterior is virtually complete and the ramparts rise dramatically above the moat. Enough of the interior survives to give an impression of castle life. There are spiral staircases and battlements to explore, and wonderful views of the Rother Valley from the top of the towers. In the impressive gatehouse is the castle's original wooden portcullis, an extremely rare example of its kind. HDR by hand!! :)

Nice job. The HDR is subtle and looks very natural. (I can't stand it when people over-HDR their photos: ruins them, imho).

Thankyou Madermade and LarkinWalking.

Over 600 years old and still solid! Gee..
it makes you wonder why they tear down "old"
buildings in the U.S. when they are 30 years
old! Of course, they don't build them like
this! Great shot and info!
