Our next adventure was going to a castle called Middleham. King Richard the 3rd lived here in the 1470’s. He grew up there. They found a large jewel called he Middleham Jewel in a field near the castle which belonged to him. The castle would have been very big but now it is ruined. They had lots of wooden staircases in to let you get up to the towers. There was a Great hall and there was even a big toilet room. On a hill near the castle there was the site of an earlier castle that was made of wood. There was a great moat around it and a wall and portcullis. You could really imagine what it might have been like.
We went for a walk down by the river and saw lots of race horses
