.....is his castle."

| 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.
 |
| The gatehouse. | | |
|
|
There was a tapestry display on the first floor. I took several pictures, but this one seems to be the clearest one.
 |
| I thought the unicorns most appropriate for a castle. |
|
|
There were several unusual items of decoration in the castle.
 |
| Do you have one of these decorating your house? |
 |
| Or one of these? |
|
|
The grounds were lovely, with a garden and a waterfall.
 |
| Begonias in full bloom. |
 |
| Cooling for a very hot day! |
We were able to take City Girl along with us, so that added more fun to the trip.:-)
I have noticed new followers! Thank you so much for coming along. I truly enjoy your comments!
