This castle is a man's home! |

On the mention of A Brit in Tennessee, we decided to take a trip to investigate Castle Gwynn, built by an individual, and still not complete. We toured the first floor of the interior, plus enjoyed the grounds.

There was a tapestry display on the first floor. I took several pictures, but this one seems to be the clearest one.

There were several unusual items of decoration in the castle.

The grounds were lovely, with a garden and a waterfall.
