The ruins of Kirby Castle.

Nikon D60 F5.0 22mm ISO400 1/2000

Kirby Muxloe was one of the earliest brickwork castles erected in England but was also one of the last of its type, a quadrangular castle, to be built. Despite having never been completed, the attractive site is an impressive tribute to its builder, William, Lord Hastings, who for a time held a position of great power within the realm.

    I can´t see any castle, only towers :-))
    Isn´t Hampton Court Castle built in the same style ?
    Fine image, Lynn, with this refletion on the water.
    Well done.
