Today I'm exploring Carlton Towers to get some inspiration for my next game development project.
Special thanks to the Carlton Towers for the open day.

Carlton Towers, near Selby in Yorkshire, is a historic Gothic mansion with origins on the site from the 1300s, owned by the Fitzalan-Howard family (descendants of the Stapletons) for centuries, with the current striking Victorian Gothic structure designed by E.W. Pugin and J.F. Bentley in the 1870s, serving as a family home, venue, and filming location, maintaining its legacy as a lived-in piece of history rather than just a monument.
