Great pictures, you could have loads of fur running around there with various 10th century weapons and perhaps an inflatable dragon or two!

Nice pictures there!

I remember visiting there in the early 1890's with me Olds, and there was a blind donkey (due to he used to work down a mine), who would pull a huge wooden wheel, think it operated the well bucket? Great to see some pics of this place. Ta very much for sharing them with us.

Visited Carisbrooke Castle in 1968 - on honeymoon. Surely it is not closed now?

No it's owned by english heritage & quite a popular tourist attraction.

Havent been there since seeing a open air performance of "a midsummer nights dream" an night a couple of years ago. The wellhouse & the donkey's are well worth going to see.
