Description

England is studded with castles — Norman keeps, royal palaces and clifftop strongholds raised to conquer, defend and dazzle. This map gathers the mightiest and most romantic: the largest and oldest inhabited castle in the world, a golden fortress above an empty beach, and a moated castle so pretty it has been called the loveliest in the world. Drawbridges down, portcullis up.
