Nunney Castle was our last stop of the day and was a very pitiful stop too even know it was very busy it still very quiet and really nice to explore - it nice and small  - our daughter was more interested in the ducks than the castle 😆

is said that Nunney castle is a moated medieval castle , that backdates to around 1370 , it is also said that in the 16th century the castle was more modernized after being damaged. it said by the 20th century the castle was a ruin and covered in ivy, In 1926 the castle was a threat and the ownership was transferred, and restoration work began,

This was our second stop of the day and I have to say I was really impressed with the crypt and church more than the castle as I was not expecting it.

The site was nice and quite to the time we visited it and it is still winter and it was also raining a bit - we spent most of are time in the church/chapel because we were amazed at how it was left.

so it said  a medieval castle  , and  castle was built in two phases:the inner court was constructed between 1377 and 1383 , Underneath the chapel is a burial vault which holds the best collection of human-shaped lead coffins in Britain
