Beeston Market and Castle

Today Daddy decided to take the family off to Beeston. First we headed off to the Market. At the Market we brought lots of fantastic things to eat for our Dinner and for our Tea. We also used this trip to teach Kellyn more about money. After a stroll around the market we headed back to the car for our next stop. We then took the mile and a half drive to Beeston Castle. Arriving just in time for the Doors to open. We paid our entrance fee and looked around the exhibits on show. Kellyn was excited and extremely interested in what he was seeing. We then took the Quarter mile walk up a steep hill to the castle. Kellyn had great fun playing in the castle walls on the way up. He really showed what a Strong lad he is by walking all the way to the top today. It was well worth the walk the views were outstanding and since it was a nice clear day we could see for miles. Kellyn was rewarded by seeing a train passing by, he was ever so pleased. After sitting talking and taking in the views for a while we made our way back down. we stopped to look at the wildlife making use of the castle and there was lots to see again something kellyn is very interested in. As we got back to the bottom Kellyn wanted another look around the castle exhibits and i read the castle history to him. His interest really surprised me. We got back to the car and made our way home Stopping at Peckforton Castle for the Land Rover Experience and then few more places on the way.
