Description
At Lamphey, the medieval bishops of St Davids built for themselves a magnificent retreat away from worries of Church and State. Here, amongst fishponds, fruit orchards, vegetable gardens and sweeping parklands, they could enjoy the life of country gentlemen. Their palace was improved over two centuries, though it was mainly the work of Henry de Gower, Bishop of St Davids from 1328 to 1347, who built the splendid Great Hall. Later additions included a Tudor chapel with a fine, five-light east window.

I've read a hand full of medieval novels over the last year. This would make a perfect cover illustration. I can picture the old boys strolling through the gardens. Bill

Almost as if the wandering souls of those past can be seen moving in the shadows. Marvelous shot and the bird flying over is really a nice treat.

Another great capture from this beautiful place Aled, I like to walk round old ruins myself, I think that stems from being one myself. It must be a great place to explore, and I'm sure there are lots of photo ops has the seasons change so do the opportunity's. Excellent work and great presentation and information. Bravo!!!!!
