My boyfriend took me to Hammond Castle in November 2003 for my birthday and it was wonderful!! I was in awe! The views from the castle were breathtaking and I loved exploring all the rooms and winding staircases. The Great Hall was amazing and no photo seems to do it justice...you have to be there to really experience it. The "pool room" was very interesting....just to think, Mr Hammond could make it rain in there whenever he chose! There was only one suit of armor on display when we were there and I would have loved to see more but the castle is beautiful. I am so looking forward to going back next month for the King Arthur festival. My son can't wait to go either!
