Princess Leah with her big brother

These two thoroughly enjoyed their trip to Skipton Castle, but I came home with an headache and I have still got it. They are lucky that we didn't leave them in the dungeon.

Skipton Castle is one of the most complete and best preserved medieval castles in England and is best visited on a warm, dry day so that you can spend some time in the grounds. Unfortunately, it was very wet and windy when we visited. The stone spiral stairs inside the castle are very steep, and a little worn, so getting these two safely up and down them was a bit of a nightmare, but well worth it. It is the first time that they have been to a castle and they were very impressed and excited about it.
