COMPTON CASTLE - and yes, you guessed it, another National Trust property....hope you're enjoying this trip as much as we did. I just have to share these photos with you (from all the places we visit)...seems nice to bring you all along.
Unusually members of the original family still live in the castle, although not in the part pictured below, they have an apartment on the other side of the building away. Hence, this property is only open three days a week in order to respect their privacy.
The estate is still worked and they breed Jacob Sheep (although we didn't see any on this occasion) this next picture is their shearing barn.
