| 説明 | This is the ruins of Castle Rising Castle, near the village of Castle Rising.When we got to the car park, I noticed a school party. So as soon as we paid and got in, I went all the way around taking pictures of the castle. By the time I completed one lap of the castle mound above, the secondary school kids started to come in. So I went out, had a little look at the village and road then back in.Weren't here for long but at least I got my photos of the castle. I missed going inside it, but then those students were probably inside doing school work or something.It is north of King's Lynn, and south of Sandringham.Castle Rising (castle)Castle Rising Castle is a ruined castle situated in the village of Castle Rising in the English county of Norfolk.
