The mountain that was once topped by the Keep |
So to kick off the photo posts, here is a little bouquet of Oxford
Castle !
Oxford's answer to the Paris Plages! |
Tower in background is Nuffield College library |
Entrance of Castle - long used as a prison, until a few years ago it was turned into a hotel |
Residence of the prison governor |
The stocks - family version? |
The Stocks - hands and head only |
A good thing they didn't have credit cards in those days! |
The mount is mainly filled in, but a few remnants remain |
I think this is the tower Queen Maud escaped from by climbing down a rope in the 12th century |
There are lots of trout in the old moat! |
Shot from top of restaurant next to the Mount |
Ditto |
My favourate photo - doesn't it look like southern France? |
Road to castle - there is a market there at Christmas! |
