Oh my, what a lovely and majestic scene @Sheal. This castle looks like a new build it is so pristine, although i see it has been around since the Middle Ages, it must have been refurbished in the not too distant past. I would love to wander those gardens Congratulations on such a fine photo, i cannot see how it could be any better.

Thank you everyone! There were some very good photo's (or should I say images) this month and difficult to choose between, well done to all that entered.
I agree with what you say @Daren, I consider it to be a house (mansion) in preference to a castle. Castles to me are arrow slits, portcullis' and dungeons.
It is pretty much @Beverly, most of what you see now is mid 19th century. It does have an attractive fairy tale air about it though.
Thank you for the compliment.

Sheal, you could be an ambassador for the tourist bureau of the UK! That is a great photo--not only the subject matter, but the setting also. Well done!

Thank you again everyone for your much appreciated words.
I'm not so sure about that @marlingardener but thank you. I think all of us when behind a camera desire the perfect shot, but they are very rare. Even with this one I find fault because I expect a very high standard from myself and many are on the receiving end of the delete button. I have thousands of photo's and I would pick no more than two or three as being special.
