Come with us as we visit the most beautiful, iconic, historical castles in Britain.
We have all the details for planning a visit to these ancient piles.
Follow us on YouTube, as month by month, we add to our tour of scenic castles.
You will be surprised and amazed at what we find.
White castle, Skenfrith and Grosmont are three medieval castles built on the border between England and Wales. Brought under one lordship by King Stephen, they provided the ultimate wall of defence.
We show you the nearest Roman road to your destination. How to get there by carriage and rail.
Every castle has a history. Who built it, and when? Who lived there, and what did they do?
Did they win that battle, or did the walls fall?
Are there ghosts still manning the battlements?
We have all the juicy details of the mysteries, plots, and intrigues that bring history to life.
Will you be able to park your carriage within a mile of the gates?
Will your purse be robbed, or can you stroll across the drawbridge?
Do you have to be a member? Can the kids and grandad get in cheap?
Is there an eatery to feed the happy brood? Or a hostalry to quaff an ale?
A place for that idyllic picnic?
Well nearly always. Somewhere to pick up that soon to be treasured souvenir.
A plastic battle axe perchance, or a pencil to add to your collection.
So how did they do? How was the welcome?
