点评:We visited on a chilly, rainy day in May 2026. The advantage of visiting in inclement weather was that we had the place almost to ourselves! We bought the guidebook at the ticket desk and I was really glad we did. It greatly enhanced our visit since there was not a lot of detailed information on the display boards in the castle area. We spent several hours going through the guidebook in detail trying to identify the features it mentioned. Several cold rain showers went through, so we took a coffee break in the warm ticket office about halfway through our visit. I had read a lot about the life and times of King Richard III including his times at Middleham and despite the weather it was an amazing experience to visit the ruin and imagine it when Richard III and his contemporaries were there. Middleham Castle is a great place to visit for English history fans!
翻译:我们是在2026年5月一个寒冷且多雨的日子里去参观的。在这种恶劣天气下参观的好处就是几乎整个地方只有我们两个人!我们在售票处买了导游手册,我很庆幸自己买了。由于城堡区域的展示牌上并没有太多详细信息,这本手册大大丰富了我们的参观体验。我们花了好几个小时仔细研读手册,试图找出书中提到的各个景点。期间还下了好几场冷雨。于是,在参观进行到一半时,我们在温暖的售票处稍作休息、喝了杯咖啡。我之前读过很多关于理查三世生平的资料,包括他在米德尔汉姆的岁月。尽管天气不佳,但能够亲临这座城堡遗迹并想象出理查三世及其同时代人曾经在此生活的场景,仍是一次极其美妙的体验。对于热爱英国历史的爱好者来说,米德尔汉姆城堡绝对是一个值得一游的好地方!
