A few more photos from Dover Castle

When I came round the corner and saw this view, I thought I was in southern Europe. The red tiles I think. 

 Its a trebuchet! or a replica since it was used in the middle ages to catapult rocks into fortified castles.
 I liked this view as well. Its from one of the mediaeval tunnels - and looks out onto the moat I think. Can you see any of the strange sheep grazing there?
The autumn leaves on the grass caught my eye. They reminded me of the yellow planta genista (broom) sprig which the Plantagenet kings wore in their caps. Perhaps even when they built this interesting castle!
