Bishop Castle

Bishop Castle is located on the Greenhorn Highway 165, about 20 miles southwest of Pueblo, CO. I'll let my video describe the castle:

I do suggest a visit to this place. The castle is a personal effort of Mr. Bishop, who, "in 1959 at the ripe old age of 15 paid four hundred and fifty dollars for a two and a half acre parcel of land enclosed on three sides by the majestic San Isabel National Forest in southern Colorado."

The castle is at an elevation of 9,000 feet, and parking is on the side of the road, so I suggest you plan on coming earlier in the day.

Mr. Bishop has toiled for decades to build this castle, so it is definitely a labor of love. It is also a work in progress. So watch your step, and avoid a nose-dive off of a parapets, many of which have no handrails.

For the timid, there are lots of places to walk while avoiding the heights.
