Last Sunday, we had a ride out to Raby Castle, a 14th-century castle near Staindrop in County Durham. It was built sometime between
1367 and 1390 and is still a private home today.
We arrived at midday and entry was £10 per car. While we were eating dinner, we could see a deer in
the distance wandering around the castle wall. Raby Castle has almost 200
acres of parkland and there were a number of deer roaming about. We
looked round the gardens first because it was supposed to rain.
