Inside a quiet medieval village in Italy, we discovered a forgotten mansion slowly being reclaimed by nature. Behind its crumbling walls, entire rooms were still filled with furniture, personal belongings, decades-old documents, and traces of the families who once called this place home. Join us in this video as we step inside this remarkable time capsule: youtu.be/jFvg9fnK0_k

A group of close up images of visitors to the Stonehenge site in Wiltshire. We were on a drove road across the fields. Thanks to modern tech I could get close to the stones but not physically near them like we could when I was a child.

Berkeley Castle walled garden
The first castle at Berkeley was a motte-and-bailey, built around 1067 by William FitzOsbern shortly after the Norman Conquest. This was subsequently held by three generations of the first Berkeley family, all called Roger de Berkeley, and rebuilt by them in the first half of the 12th century. The last Roger de Berkeley was dispossessed in 1152 for withholding his allegiance from the House of Plantagenet during the conflict of the Anarchy, and the feudal barony of Berkeley was then granted to Robert Fitzharding, a wealthy burgess of Bristol and supporter of the Plantagenets. He and Eva fitz Harding were the founders of the Berkeley family which still owns the castle.
In 1153–54, Fitzharding received a royal charter from Henry II giving him permission to rebuild the castle.[15] Fitzharding built the circular shell keep between 1153 and 1156, probably on the site of the former motte. The building of the curtain wall followed, probably between 1160 & 1190 by Robert and then by his son Sir Maurice Berkeley.
Much of the rest of Berkeley Castle is 14th century and was built for Thomas de Berkeley, 3rd Baron Berkeley: Thorpe's Tower, to the north of the keep, the inner gatehouse to its southwest, and other buildings of the inner bailey.

The most famous of all Spitfires still flying today, MH434 was built in 1943 at Vickers, Castle Bromwich. This Spitfire is remarkably original, having never been subject to a re-build
