点评:Built in the early 1800's this is not so much a castle as a manor house with turrets. But easy enough to call a "castle". It was built by the Cornish Inventor Sir Goldsworthy Gurney. Who is responsible for the term "limelight" as it was his invention of burning lime on the Victorian stages to light up the scenes and players that made the term linked to being seen. There is room just for the exhibits to his work and inventions along with his influence on Bude and the surrounds.
Entrance is free and the castle hosts a number of exhibits, from the geology around Bude, with fossil fishes. The English Civil War. Of wreaks and shipbuilding. There is even a link to the Titanic.
The railway and the Bude Canal and how both influence the rise and to some extent the fall of Bude.
The modern history of the Ranger Battalion stationed in Bude before D-Day and used the cliffs to practice for their assault on Pointe du Hoc as the geology of both sets of cliffs is similar. Their time in Bude and the relationships they developed with the locals.
Then on to the GCHQ and the establishment of a modern listening site at the old RAF base.
There is also an exhibition for the Storm Tower, which should not be left out.
There is also a quaint little cafe if you want to have a break before heading on.
All in all well worth the hour we spent walking through the history of Bude. Definitely one to visit if in Bude.
翻译:这座建于19世纪初的城堡与其说是一座城堡,不如说是一座带有塔楼的庄园。但称其为“城堡”其实并不难。它由康沃尔郡的发明家戈兹沃西·格尼爵士建造。“聚光灯”(Limelight)一词源于他,因为他发明了在维多利亚时代的舞台上燃烧石灰来照亮场景和演员,这使得这个词与“被观看”联系在一起。城堡内专门设有展厅,展示他的作品和发明,以及他对布德及其周边地区的影响。
免费入场,城堡内举办了一系列展览,涵盖布德周围的地质、鱼类化石、英国内战、海难和造船业,甚至还与泰坦尼克号有联系。
铁路和布德运河,以及它们如何影响着布德的崛起和衰落(某种程度上)。
游骑兵营在诺曼底登陆日前驻扎在布德,由于两处悬崖的地质条件相似,他们利用悬崖练习进攻奥克角(Pointe du Hoc)。游骑兵营在布德的时光以及他们与当地人建立的关系。
之后,我们将参观英国政府通信总部(GCHQ)以及在旧皇家空军基地建立的现代化监听站。
此外,还有一个关于风暴塔的展览,不容错过。
如果您想在继续前行之前休息一下,还可以去一家古色古香的小咖啡馆。
总而言之,我们花了一个小时探索布德的历史,绝对值得。如果您在布德,这里绝对值得一游。
