Wales trip with photos, part 3c
Having satisfied my desire to visit the round table, my wife and I went off to another castle to satisfy her desire to see stones piles on top of each other.

It’s a pay to park system where you pay at a station and put something on your dashboard to prove it.
I set a time to make sure we’d get back in time.
For some reason, I only ever see this place when the river next to it is at low tide.
This is the tower we didn’t go up because of the stairs that would scare my wife.
Some were better than others.
These are the "good" ones.
Despite her fear of heights, she went right up some places.
Not too much worry about balance or spinning…
I mentioned she likes stones on stones, right?
This was staged…
It is a long thin castle that is more like three castles in a line with walls connecting them. Maybe because that’s how the built it…
Either way, we had fun going up, down and around inside it.
I’m not used to looking down at crows in trees.
This wicker statue was new to me.
My wife seemed to like this one a lot.
Hey, that’s us!
The original doorway to the first castle still has some carvings over it.
One of the things about this castle is it still has some very early doors.
Yes, yes, they had benches…
A nice castle. I’m glad we visited it.

Do you not have pay and display your ticket parking in the US. It's quite common here as well.

But, more here give you a ticket when you go in and you pay when you go out.
You don't have to display anything when you're in the lot, but it is gated so you can't get in or out without the ticket.
