Bodiam: Castle
Description
If you think of a ruined castle, you probably picture Bodiam. Four round towers one on each corner, square towers between them, a high wall and all of that in the middle of moat accessed only via a narrow bridge. The shell of the castle is in amazing condition and you could almost imagine being able to live inside, sadly inside it is just a shell with none of the original buildings remaining, but this only helps to make this such a romantic ruin.
