Day 18 - Parkgate

A long driving day today with a few stops along the way.  We visited Witley Court first.  Quite spectacular, with beautiful gardens.  A look into what life was like for the wealthy at the turn of the century.  On to Stokesay Castle, which isn't really a castle at all, even though it has a moat.  Amazingly preserved and original.  Finally, the Iron Bridge.  Unfortunately, it's under renovation, so you can't see much.  Then on to our residence for the next four days before London, Backwood Hall.  Dinner with an old friend.
