There is a castle
Amazing and beautiful photos. So there really is a Matlock castle? Rumor has it that one of the brothers were sent on his way or kicked out of the castle and sent on his way to America. All heresay and makes a good story. My maiden name is Matlock. Thanks for allowing the public photos.
