On the North of Vaxholm are the ruins of an old battery, guarding Stockholm from invaders arriving by sea through the straights near Vaxholm.

We ventured to the north of the Vaxholm peninsular, where we found another secluded harbour area with views across the sea.

Gripsholms Slott is on the edge of the small town of Mariefred – we visited the castle last time, but not the town. Its a quaint little town on the waterfront with a view to the castle.

Not far from our new flat is a beach. By a lake this has a number of the facilities you’d expect to find at a seaside.

A. at Edsberg Slott.

We went to Edsberg Slott again, now that it is our local castle.

I went to Trosa before, but it seems I didn’t find the centre. Its a pretty port town with a river leading to the sea.

We returned to Tullgarns Slott for a proper look around.

Back to Nyköping again.
