I love Dunstanburgh - it's just down the coast from my mam and dad. I think my favourite's Duntulm on Skye. There's not much of it left but it is etched in my memory from a rain-lashed ride round to the ferry at Uig. Hugely dramatic in the way it loomed out of the cloud.

Tynemouth Castle - I grew up near there and it is still a fantastic wonderful place. Some C2C-ers might know it.

Right, a proper one:

(I know I'm probbly going to get slagged off, and have people saying it's rubbish, etc etc, but it is a very impressive castle, spanning a lot of history, and has seen so much stuff going on. Still works, too; has a barracks, and is used for all sorts of official functions. Has some impressive displays of armour and weaponry, and one or two shiny things...)

I do like some of the Welsh ones, too. I love Conwy; fantastic how they designed it with a railway line running through it!

The Windsor Castle in Carshalton. It has some excellent bands on a Saturday night - although a bit too loud for some people.

Windsor, could see it from my bedroom window as a kid. Many happy days riding the cheeky singletrack in the queen's garden and avoiding the parkies on my Grifter!

Personal favourites are Conwy and Beaumaris. Caernarfon is the most spectacular and "hard looking" one I've seen though.
