Hi, I just spotted your blog and it's fascinating to see a shot of of your home. Some years ago when I lived in Carburton (near to the Clumber Park entrance) I had occasion to catch a bus from Mansfield to Carburton due to my car having broken down. By the time the bus got to Edwinstowe I was so bored that I decided to walk the rest of the way. Having moved to Carburton a short time previously and not knowing the area well, I spotted just a glimpse of the castle from the road between Budby and the A614 (having taken the 'wrong' route. After eventually arriving home having traversed fields & woodland. I mentioned what I seen, or thought that I'd seen, to someone who had lived in Thoresby Park for many years And no, the walk and the heat of the day hadn't affected me and "there really is a castle there" I was told. It's presence has intrigued me ever since so seeing your photograph of it has been something of a treat. Thank you so much.
