Probably dating back to just after the Norman conquest, this castle was originally know as Llantilio Castle. It gained its current name when it was rebuilt and extended around 1230 and was rendered in white plaster.

I took this, hand held while moving around the apse so a bit of manual editing was required for the finished image.
An example of wonderful stone masonry skills

This is my first "real" gigapan, taken on a very cold and windy day using just a tripod - hence the irregular outline. It consists of 196 images, processed in Autopano Pro as a .PSDand then further processed in Photoshop CS3
This pano shows the Severn Estury and western Somerset Levels with Weston-Super-Mare, Burnham-on-Sea and Bridgwater in the distance, as well as Wales across the water.
You can see two Iron Age Hill Forts, two Medieval castles, two nuclear (pronounced new-clear for those who have difficulty) power stations and two countries.
If you look closely you can find the West Somerset Vale Fox Hunt.
You can also see the receiving point of the first ever radion transmission over open water in May 1897, This was done to disprove the contention that radio did not work and that the signals were passing through the ground.
There are many more delights to discover

Taken from the Stoer peninsula this panorama shows most of the mountains of the North West coast of Scotand. If you look closely out to sea you can just make out Lewis.

This gateway replaced the original gate around 1230 when the castle was extended. The outer bailey wall can be seen through the gateway

Built between 1090 and 1100 AD St Andrews of Suntinstoch was given as part of a gift to the Benedictine Abbey of St Marie de Lonlay by William de Falaise. Monks from the mother house were sent over to administer the estate and formed the Benedictine Priory in Stoche (Doomsday Book entry name).
