Sarum Castle by LouiseTopp
Old Sarum is windswept and mysterious. It started life out as a Iron age hill fort, then the Romans arrived & began calling it Soverodonium. A few years old when the Romans departed the Normans pulled up in England & renamed it Sarum. Sarum on the edge of Salisbury where the city first began, there?s evidence of a much smaller cathedrals you can see it?s outline from the air; just jump out of a plane & you?ll see what I mean! Near bye is a caravan site, & a farm; sheep once roamed the embankments. Serum?s just a ruin now owned by English Heritage, there?s a small fee to get in. There?s a deep moat which my cousin fell into last year while coming back from the pub tipsy, there?s no water in it just overgrown grass. Strange things have been seen on the battlements, & there?s even tales about a ghostly battle. A man tried to pinch the money from the office once & fell into the dungeon; he was let out by staff the following day! Some people have said that earth energies run through the site. Dowsers have shown that a strong, powerful leyline runs from Stonehenge, through Old Sarum, Salisbury Cathedral & on to Clearbury Ring. The Doomsday Book was to a degree printed at Old Sarum, where, upon the book's close, William the Conqueror called up England's land owners to state their duty. Hundreds of rabbits live on the banks of the castle, they come out in crowds when they think everyone has gone home. The area is good for dog walkers, & the embankments are dotted with holes made by the rabbit?s; if not then they got some bloody big mole?s up there!
