Yesterday I upgraded my castle visit by taking a day trip out to Blaise Castle. This kind of trip is very possible to do when there's no trouble on the trains (I need to change at Bristol Temple Meads onto the Severn Beach line, so if there's a long delay on the line between Romsey and Bristol, I end up having to change plans).

Blaise CastleBlaise Castle is another folly - in this case a three sided castle like folly on a hill that overlooks both Bristol and with views, allegedly, out to South Wales (with the haze around Bristol yesterday there was no chance of that). The grounds of the Blaise Estate are managed by Bristol City Centre and, while overrun with dog walkers, is very much worth the trip.
