England - Yorkshire to Peak District

That is Riber Castle sitting high on the hilltop. The residence hasn't been occupied since WW11 having been built by a local industrialist in the 1800s. This 'folly' has 27m high towers and over 40m of battlement walls. A zoo operated within the grounds until it closed in 2000. The latest plan was to turn it into flats!
