Portchestor Castle - The clash of the Romans

Portchester Castle is an English Heritage site
Wed decided to head down there with a YW in tow, 
Anglea is a friend and she hadn't been out for a while.
We arrived to find a peaceful castle
With Romans fighting inside.
It is a weekend called the "clash of the Romans"
Local guys had dressed up and were acting scenes.
A great display was put on.
The little church of St Mary's in the middle even had a wedding going on.
The costumes were very well made and on show. 
It was a hot day and these guys were proud to be wearing it.
And the Crowd was not too large.
during a break, we went up into the castle itself.
where we got to see the castle and the harbor.
After we went to watch a falconry Display
With Harriers, Owls, Eagles and 
 They were very skilled
 But for me, it was the Hobbie.
