Carisbrooke Castle on a picturesque Isle of Wight. Shot with Mavic Pro 2 years ago and Osmo Pocket last week. The castle is located on a steep hill overlooking Newport PO30 1XY. There have been a castle on this location since the roman times and despite on lack of any major battles or sieges this castle has been often modernised to ward off invasions from Spain and France. It has made it into history books thanks to being a place of imprisonment of Charles I while he has awaited his trial and later execution. A window through which the king was attempting to escape still exists today. This Castle has also been used as a summer Residence for Queen Victoria and the Royal Family before they have moved to the Osbourne House also located on the Isle of Wight. Castle walls and the central fort offer amazing views of the stunning countryside. You will also find within the walls a museum, restaurant and a live show involving a donkey (not a donkey show) where the animal demonstrates use of the wheel powering the wench of a very deep well supplying water to the caste in the past. These lovely and intelligent creatures only work a maximum of 6 minutes a day and can refuse to participate in the performance without without a worry of getting a P45. I would gladly swap with them!
