Castles & Forts

Before the 12th Century, Castles and Forts were largely thatched buildings with a wooden shell. Edward I instigated the Fortress Castle to ensure that they offered a high degree of protection. A vast amount of castles still remain the UK. Although many are in a ruinous state, they still offer a fabulous glimpse back into history. Choose a castle from the menu above.
