Description

Odiham Castle It was one of only three strongholds built by King John, to add to the ninety he already had at his disposal, and the site was chosen because it lay halfway between Windsor and Winchester. King John may have decided on Odiham as a suitable site for a castle on his visit to the town in 1204. Construction began in 1207 and continued until 1214. Took this with a fish eye lens because sometimes a 10mm wide lens is just not quite wide enough.

Excellent photo. I read somewhere that King John's Castle was first listed as a ruin in 1604...It has taken quite some time to become what we see today. I like the fisheye...really not to extreme.
