    Crook's Castle was built about the year 1820 in commemoration of Wellington's victory of Waterloo. It is about two miles from the village of Coachford and lies close to the road between Peake and Aharvin. Built on the side of a wood belonging to a Mrs Crooke, Ahavrin living nearby. This castle is very artistic and adds romance and charm to the wooded surroundings. It is six storeys high. Red flagstones form the stairs from storey to storey. The turret on top is very narrow. It is covered with lead on top placed over timber roofing. It was erected by some English people but the present owners are Crooke's in whose land it is built. When Crooke's daughter was getting married the Orange flag was flown from its top. I went up a part of the castle a few years ago.
