Heavy horse working 12-14 April

Knucklas Castle Community Land Project Posted on 22 March 2013 by Kevin5 February 2015

On 12th to 14th April we will have a heavy horse working at moving some trees to a place where we can burn them. These have been cut down to improve the visibility of the castle site itself, with the advice of Cadw, and now need to be removed and burnt off the site.

Volunteers are needed over these days, but mainly on the Sunday 14th April, to assist in this work. IF YOU COME PLEASE ENSURE YOU CHECK IN WITH THE SUPERVISOR BEFORE STARTING!

The horse handler is Nick Burton of Llanfair Caereinion who says that people are welcome to come and watch and admire the horse but he says:

if people touch the horse (which they are welcome to do at recognised break times when she is tied up and not attached to equipment or trees) they should wash hands before eating etc. The risk of infection from Elza are slight but I feel I should alert you to this.

This is an excellent opportunity to see a working horse in action.

A wonderful new book has been written by one of our members for youngsters to enjoy the legend of King Arthur. Look on the Shop page to see details and purchase.

Castle hill

A new view of the castle using LiDR technology has become available, look here: LiDR survey
Many thanks to Mark Walters for this new view.

It raises some interesting questions about the way the castle has been used over the many years of its existence.

We are also on the Welsh governments catalogue of heritage buildings here Coflein

Sited at the confluence of the Teme and Heyope valleys in Radnorshire, Knucklas Castle overlooks Shropshire's Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty, Offa's Dyke and the River Teme, the border between Wales and England. This part of Wales has many delights to discover.
