Blaise Castle in Henbury, Bristol

The sun goes down behind Blaise Castle. Set in the 650 acre Blaise estate, near Henbury, the Castle was built in 1766 by sugar merchant Thomas Farr who owned the estate in the mid 18th Century. The architect was Robert Mylne. The mock Gothic style castle is Grade II* Listed. It is a folly but was inhabited into the 20th Century.
