Wentworth 'Castle'
        |         |       | |
Well, I say 'castle', but it's more of a folly than a castle. The dude who owned Wentworth House decided to make a castle to 'keep up with the Jones' as it were. That is, his neighbours were in the process of building something fantastic, and so Wentworth Castle was constructed (late 18th century) in competition, but also as a playground for his children, or so the story goes. The grounds were kind of abandoned at some point, and the restoration still continues today, but the gardens were pretty amazing nonetheless, although I'm not sure if these pictures can really convey that, of course.
