Appleby Castle Pool
I doubt there are many sites like this. A swimming pool 15 yards long and 6 or so yards wide smack in the centre of a courtyard that still follows the outline of the Norman Castle built here in 1179. The Keep in the distance is lit up at night, the pool was warmed by solar panels on the main buildin to the right. I had my 21st birthday party here, infamously I told p[arty goers that whoever got the brick from the bottom of the pool would win a crate of champagne. Ball gowns and tuxedos will removed by a couple of dozen guests ... no brick found & I was tossed into the pool fully dressed with a brick. Those who could fit in then moved to the Sauna ... and so the nigth wore on with 70+ guests in beds in the mainblock and the cottages on the right. Fine memories. ANd a fine setting for some part of awatersprite story.
