A few shots of the opulent interior of Eastnor Castle which isn't a 'real' castle but more of a Disney-style folly to my eyes, it all looks nice though even though the aristocracy have to allow the hoi-polloi like myself to come and nose around these days!
Copied from Wikipedia:
Eastnor Castle is a 19th-century mock or revival castle, two miles from the town of Ledbury, Herefordshire, by the village of Eastnor. It was founded by John Cocks, 1st Earl Somers as his stately home and continues to be inhabited by his descendants.
Currently in residence is the family of James Hervey-Bathurst, the grandson of Arthur Somers-Cocks, 6th Baron Somers. The castle is a Grade I listed building.
