Hi all,
I present Cliffton Castle:
 (pic=link to
gallery) deeplinks at bottom of post : )
Cliffton Castle, known locally as the ‘Castle of Three Trees’ (all
right, there are six trees if you want to be picky...), is an outpost of the
great Black Knight Empire. It serves primarily as a heavily fortified beacon
post
but also has a small harbour front
 .
Its name comes from Cliffton Lodge which once dominated the clifftop
before the gradually expanding fortifications displaced it.
Pics of the 20 odd interiors (with some location references) can be
found here
And if you’re really interested, my faviorite small details are in this
folder (pic=link) 
Please let me know what you think... I normally include a few fun
details but this time I can only offer you the chance to spot two cunning Wolf
Pack raiders...
Thanks for looking and God Bless,
Nathan
ohh... a few deeplinks:
street,

Wayfarer’s Inn interior, and
another street.
.Pirates because of the building style and warf...

Good interiors too, but I couldn't satisfy one of my favorite (...) (19 years ago, 13-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates)

| (...) Nathan, This rocks! Even though you took a lot of pictures, I'm finding it frustrating, because of all that you included, I would just want to spend a very long time looking at it in person. It's an incredible MOC, very well integrated, how (...) (19 years ago, 14-Jun-05, to lugnet.castle, lugnet.pirates, FTX)
