Another visit to the Castle Country Park this afternoon. Quite a nice day, if a tad breezy. Most notable were the four carp, two of which were seen swimming in either of two ponds. Large fish, up to a foot and a half in length. Pictures in the usual location. The country park is relatively small, but we thought there was a turnstile to get out at the back. Not any more. We had to wade through 6 ft high bracken to get back to the regular exit.

This is the archive of The Shell Gallery blog, which was active between 2008 and 2018. It is dedicated to the memory of my mother, who died in May 2008, and to that of my father, who passed away in August 2022.
The Watch Tower stands to the north, overlooking the open Heathlands
The Shell Gallery also refers to the island of Vlieland, which has zillions of shells on its beaches.

I thoroughly enjoyed these lovely photos. We have carp here too. My Mom lives on a lake. We often go out to her place to feed the fish and watch the different types come up, one of which are carp. They are huge!~
The landscaping in the park and around the castle is beautiful. I want my yard to look like that!~
Thanks for sharing!~
Blessings!~

That park is absolutely GORGEOUS!! Thank you for sharing it. It's so beautiful that if I walked through it I would feel like I was in a fairy tale. I was amazed by the different things...the Shell gallery, the 800yr old oak, the buildings, fountains, and that Chain bridge. That would scare me. Did you cross it? I would be so afraid of that bridge and how it must swing!
Thank you for sharing this.

It certainly is a beautiful place Guido.
I bet you were a bit annoyed to find the turnstile was gone.!!!!!
Take care

I so enjoyed this 'outing' to Rosendael Country Park. As keepers of ornamental Koi Carp I was interested to see these ones. They looked blue/grey. Were they?
What a serene place to go for a visit. I'm glad the weather stayed good for you both.
An 800 year old oak tree must have seen many things happen in its lifetime. I wonder what?

you actually had to wade through 6 ft. of bracken to get out?
