Sightseeing
They call it the " loveliest castle in the world" and it's certainly pretty. Situated on the River Len, it has a splendid moat. Henry VIII's first wife, Catherine of Aragon lived there (out of sight, out of mind, maybe). As well as general visits, the castle has lots of special events and a restaurant.
