Exteriors of Castles in the 1900s

Exteriors of Castles from the 1900s:
Longford Castle in Wiltshire, England.
                                      

Sir Thomas Gorges had this castle built in a triangular shape. There were many beautiful gardens throughout its exterior. These gardens were restored in about 1654 for Lord Coleraine. In about 1832 the Third Earl of Radnor made a garden on the south side of the castle. In the 1870s these gardens were longer, and they got restored. In my opinion, these gardens are very beautiful and give this castle a great look on the exterior.













These two pictures are the gardens, and exteriors of the Longford Castle. Each picture is set on a different angle. I admire the gorgeous statues throughout the garden, and also the variety of flowers too. 

















Glamorgan Castle in Alliance, Ohio


This castle was built from the company of Thomas R. Morgan Sir. He started to run a company that built many things. In 1973 some Alliance City Schools bought this castle and also some of its land too. They use it for schools administrative offices. My opinion on this castle is that it is set up very nicely, even though there is not much of a garden the land it's on is still very beautiful, and so is the castle too.                                           






These two pictures show different angles of the exterior of the Glamorgan Castle. I think that it has a beautiful exterior, but not much garden though. It has a small part with a garden which is nice, and also the picture at nighttime is beautiful, showing the presence of the castle just standing there.
