Photo of the &quot;Inner Keep&quot; of the the castle that also has a deep and steep dry moat. Photo taken with my Canon DSLR camera on a beautiful hot day. <br /> <br /> Arundel Castle is a restored and remodelled medieval castle in Arundel, West Sussex, England. It was established by Roger de Montgomery in the 11th century. The castle was damaged in the English Civil War and then restored in the 18th and early 19th centuries by Charles Howard, 11th Duke of Norfolk. Further restoration and embellishment was undertaken from the 1890s by Charles Alban Buckler for the 15th Duke.<br /> <br /> Since the 11th century, the castle has been the seat of the Earls of Arundel and the Dukes of Norfolk. It is a Grade I listed building.<br /> <br /> The original structure was a motte-and-bailey castle. Roger de Montgomery was declared the first Earl of Arundel as the King granted him the property as part of a much larger package of hundreds of manors. Roger, who was a cousin of William the Conqueror, had stayed in Normandy to keep the peace there while William was away in England. He was rewarded for his loyalty with extensive lands in the Welsh Marches and across the country, together with one fifth of Sussex (Arundel Rape). He began work on Arundel Castle in around 1067.<br /> <br /> Between 1101 and 1102 the castle was besieged by the forces of Henry I after its holder Robert of Bellême rebelled. The siege ended with the castle surrendering to the king. The castle then passed to Adeliza of Louvain (who had previously been married to Henry I) and her husband William d'Aubigny. Empress Matilda stayed in the castle, in 1139. It then passed down the d'Aubigny line until the death of Hugh d'Aubigny, Earl of Arundel in 1243. John Fitzalan then inherited jure matris the castle and honour of Arundel, by which, according to Henry VI's &quot;admission&quot; of 1433, he was later retrospectively held to have become de jure Earl of Arundel.<br /> <br /> The FitzAlan male line ceased on the death of Henry Fitzalan, 12th Earl of Arundel, whose daughter and heiress Mary FitzAlan married Thomas Howard, 4th Duke of Norfolk in 1555, to whose descendants the castle and earldom passed.<br /> <br /> In 1643, during the First English Civil War, the castle was besieged. The 800 royalists inside surrendered after 18 days. Afterwards in 1653 Parliament ordered the slighting of the castle; however &quot;weather probably destroyed more&quot;</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/maleny_steve/">Serendigity</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/maleny_steve/55065173920/" title="George Stephenson&#039;s Rocket"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55065173920_30f0683929_m.jpg" width="240" height="180" alt="George Stephenson&#039;s Rocket" /></a></p> <p>Photographed in the Science Museum in South Kensington, London, England, UK.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/144291588@N06/">Scotland by NJC.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144291588@N06/55065077210/" title="Wide skies, wide bay from Hythe promenade to Romney Marsh and towards Dungeness, Kent, England."><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55065077210_0dca23e546_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="Wide skies, wide bay from Hythe promenade to Romney Marsh and towards Dungeness, Kent, England." /></a></p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/144291588@N06/">Scotland by NJC.</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/144291588@N06/55063626362/" title="A few miles south of Glenelg are the Sandaig Islands, opposite the Isle of Skye.

Gavin Maxwell lived here in a house called Camusfearna. Here his beloved otters swam and played on the beach, Inverness-shire, Scotland." /></a></p> <p>Commentary.<br /> <br /> It says it all. A wonderful location. Nature at its raw, honest, pristine best.<br /> Where river, forest and mountain meet the sea at a sandy bay, near the Sandaig Islands, at the entry to the majestic Loch Hourn and where views south down the Sound of Sleat<br /> take in the Island of Eigg and the south-east “wing” of the Isle of Skye.<br /> This is where Gavin Maxwell came to live with, amongst others, the wild otters, Mijbil and Edal. <br /> In his novel “Ring of Bright Water” and in the 1969 film version with Bill Travers and Virginia McKenna, playing the key roles, ostensibly, the story appears to be a triumph of mankind over nature.<br /> Or is it a naturalist’s dream to escape from the city to a remote, beautiful place, with his beloved otters, live amongst nature, watch it, draw it, write about it and live, self-sufficiently, a naturalists “Good Life,” but away from the pollution, noise and materialism of 21st. Century living, with all the self-imposed work restrictions, commuting and frenetic, competitive commercialisation that that brings.<br /> In fact, when fully absorbed, the story is much more akin<br /> to a modern Shakespearean tragedy based on a curse that kills the dream.<br /> As is so often the case when dealing with passionate, “driven,” slightly obsessive, creative and single-minded individuals, balancing their passion with relating to others, equably, becomes, nigh on, impossible.<br /> When, Kathleen Raine, a local poet, falls madly in love with Maxwell, they plan to marry, but she soon realises that all her love for him is but a thimble-full of poison, compared to his love for his otters, and their doomed marriage lasts less than a year.<br /> When Kathleen realises that Gavin has very active homosexual relationships with his young estate workers <br /> she curses him, “Let Gavin suffer, in this place, as I am suffering now.” <br /> Then, a sequence of misfortune occurred, that would be very easy to associate with the curse or affirmation.<br /> Kathleen lets Mij escape, and, while out the otter was clubbed to death by a roadworker.<br /> The uninsured house, “Camusfearna” burns to the ground one night and Edal is killed in his pen outside.<br /> Gavin is destroyed by these events and his own life spirals out of control.<br /> Fast living, heavy drinking and smoking takes its toll and he dies of lung cancer at 55 in 1969.<br /> Times and attitudes have changed since the 1950’s.<br /> No longer do most people see wild animals as pets for our entertainment, zoos have to adopt conservation as their main purpose.<br /> Circuses are for clowns not shackled, “performing” animals.<br /> But without doubt for all his own personal “conflicts”<br /> Gavin Maxwell really did love nature and has inspired millions<br /> of others to love and protect the natural world because of his inspirational writings about the wild beauty and wild life in the magical West Coast of Scotland.</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/people/kensingtonpalace/">Kensington Palace</a> posted a photo:</p> <p><a href="https://www.flickr.com/photos/kensingtonpalace/55064762999/" title="The Princess of Wales Visits Communities in the North of England"><img src="https://live.staticflickr.com/65535/55064762999_9720a7b12e_m.jpg" width="240" height="160" alt="The Princess of Wales Visits Communities in the North of England" /></a></p> <p>27/01/2026.
