The tower by the kitchen is also still in tact so we had the opportunity to go up the tower and see the amazing view from the top. The legend regarding the castle is that a curse was placed on the family when they accepted a gift (an abbey up on St Annes hill) from the king, it was said that the family line would be destryed by fire and water.
While the castle was burning down the last male in the family line was away on holiday and decided to go river rafting where he drowned... spooky.

In one of the rooms at the bottom of the castle, they have a display of a man who looked after the wine. The room is kept dark and it lights up with a voiceover when the sensor picks up movement. Since it was in complete darkness I walked up slowly peering inside, unsure if it was open to the public. The sensor detected me and it all lit up - I got the fright of my life so I included a pic depicting my scare. Not too sure acting is my strength, but you might be able to see the scary face of the dude in the background.



We didn't stay in Chichester too long cos we had to head back to Littlehampton to get a spot in the pub to watch the rugby. Watching SA beat England in the final of the Rugby World Cup was good, at the end of the game the pub went pretty silent. Was almost freaky but it was fun. Vicki and I were sporting our SA rugby shirts - the manager nearly walked away with our dinner cos of that.

It seems they just don't build castles like they used to. :)
I dig the fire and water story. It's really very tragic but I can't help finding it funny.
