Bodiam Castle is often the castle that is used to adorn the front of heritage books. It's got a really distinctive exterior and a moat, pretty impressive.
We had a lovely day there in April 2010. Chloe made some lemon drizzle cake for the trip which was a real bonus and we worked our way through that while walking from the car park to the entrance.
When we got there we realised we'd picked a good day. There were loads of people dressed up in medieval garb, all very exciting. At one point we watched a little exhibition by the medieval re-enacters and, don't ask me how, but Chloe ended up in the stocks, which I thought was absolutely hilarious.
It was a bit wet the day we went so we were using our coats as rain covers. We climbed the tower which had some great views of the castle as a whole.
There were also some rather lovely turrets up there.
Then the sun came out for our photo, Chloe didn't have her sunglasses though, shame.
