Castles of Britain Website

[Steve]

Here is a website that has pictures of virtually every castle in Britian.

Also Castle UK Net-

Not as well organized, but still very good, best to go to the 'Castle
Index' rather than the map pages.

I think it's best to see a picture of the castle before you take the
time to actually go out and see it. Some castles are nothing more that
an old barely visible foundation overgrown with weeds.

Remember Almwick Castle was used in the HP movies, and is a very big
working castle.

Don't forget Chillingham Castle which is officially considered
Britain's Most Haunted Castle. This place really is severly haunted
and could probably give the Shrieking Shack a run for it's money.

BTA website is also not the best organized site, but eventually after
struggling through ill-concieved menues and searches, you will find
what you are looking for.
