From the front gate...
This is a view of the front of the castle from the front gate. It really was magnificent, and I only wish I could see it in the spring and summer when flowers are in bloom...
The Front Door
While it may look like Henry was ready for war, this door was actually just made to look warlike. In reality, this castle would not have withstood an attack. It didn't need to! Most people loved the king, or feared him. Either way, he wouldn't be attacked!
The King's Crest
Here is the King's Crest over the front door. The writing means "My God and My Right" I think. Basically, Henry thought he had the right to rule the kingdom of England.
Statues galore!
These statues lined the entry into the castle... Very cool looking!
