Aydon castle

This castle started with just a fortified house. Then the scots burnt it down, so the owner built a small wall with crenellations all over it to keep them out. Then the scots came in and burnt it down again, so the owner built a second wall around the first wall and that was that. After this castle had been lived in for 200 years or so, farmers used it as a barn and living space untill English heritage bought it and opened it up to the public. This castle was interesting because it had a great hall (where everyone would eat and sleep) a kitchen, and an orchard, along with secret passages and private courtyards with really uneven cobblestone. I like this castle the best so far because you can actually see how people lived here for a long time.
