Before it slips my mind I would like to tell you about Nunney Castle. This is a French stye castle that was built in the 14th century by Sir John de la Mere. This castle was used in the civil war, but was destroyed soon after by a blast from a cannon. When I visited, I could clearly see the huge hole in the side of it. This castle was only functional during the war for a few days then destroyed.
Another thing we visited was less of a historical building and more of recreational area; it is called Longleat. Longleat house is a huge house with many historical objects. But when its owners couldn't pay all the bills for the house, they decided to open a safari park so they could pay the bills. Longleat has now become a main tourist attraction; it gets 300,000 visitors every year! I enjoyed driving through the safari park and letting animals come up to our car. When we drove in to the monkey jungle, several moneys jumped on our car. I also got to feed some colorful birds. I got them to sit on my hand and shoulder when I held out the food. It was a great safari adventure. We also got to go in the Longleat house. Some of the rooms in it are bigger than my house. There are so many different kinds of rooms, such as dinning rooms, libraries, breakfast rooms, bedrooms, meeting rooms, and more. We didn't even see all of the house because part of it some one lives in.
