Chirk Castle is described as a 13th century Fortress on the English-Welsh Border. Built to control the uprisings of the Welsh Princes. Today the grounds and gardens are rather serene and a far cry from the Castle original defensive roll.

Many of the streets in Bergen are narrow, so when you turn a corner, the scale and bold frontage of Saint Mary’s Church does rather take you by surprise. Origins are 12 century. The architectural style is a mix of Gothic but mainly Romanesque, its bold white twin towers contrast well with the heavy stone.
A very different bold statement to that of Wells Cathedral featured in last Sundays post, but a similar generation and equally as dramatic and imposing .

Cloud covers Beinn Dearg Bheag beyond the Loch. Autumns reeds are still standing, a tranquil end of year scene on Skye. Heavy frosts will see the end of those reeds until next springs revival. 🙂
