This week I’m joining in #Thursdaydoors, hosted by Norm on his blog, with a few doors to nowhere from Bodiam Castle in Sussex. It’s a lovely example of a moated castle, and though in ruins there is still plenty to spark the imagination. I love these doors that open into nothingness. They remind me of the often used cartoon sketches where the character rushes through a door to escape but finds empty space on the other side. Of course, it’s been used in plenty of films too…
Here’s another door to nowhere.
I love old wooden doors and I’m partial to a portcullis too.
I’ve done a weekend wander post of Bodiam Castle before, so I won’t linger here today. If you’d like to see more of this great castle check out the post here.
One last picture of the beautiful castle itself.
oh I’ve not been there for years and years . . . thank you so much for taking me back and reminding me of all its great doors

Wow what a beautiful castle – thanks for sharing these. I’m guessing those doors to nowhere had wooden stairs at some point, that have not been replaced?

Possibly, it’s hard to see the layout from what’s left.
There are still lots of narrow, twisting stone stairwells going up to different floors and leading up to the battlements. I discovered my fear of small spaces in those narrow stairwells, I’d make a rubbish soldier.
