Favourite Castle

Chenonceau, had a real charm for a tourist trap.

Raglan, Harlech

2) You get to make silly statements like “Leeds, it’s in Kent” and get away with it.

still annoys the crap out of me that address finders offer up (in alphabetical order), Leeds (Kent) and Leeds (West Yorkshire).

@scuttler – I’m surprised you didn’t say Castle Hill. Huddersfield’s finest!

Huddersfield’s finest!

Less fine now the pub has gone…

Framlingham Castle (and its name-sake pub, also known as the Two Brewers), is just up the road from me (and Ed). It’s worth a look, as is the church. However my favourite is Dover Castle – Roman bits and Cold War bits and bits in between.

Chateau Gaillard – awesome view cycling up from Les Andelys

Kerak in Jordan is a good shout – its on my (bucket) list

Funnily enough, Takeshi’s Castle is an actual building in Osaka. General Takeshi is pretty honoured in Japan, not so much in Korea.

In true STW fashion i’ll recommend what i have (sort of), Stafford Castle –

Scheduled Ancient Monument earthworks date back to 1071, this year will be my twentieth as a site guide here. Love this place with all my heart.

Huddersfield’s only. Can’t honestly stand the place with the amount of dogs / dog shit.

For me happy childhood memories of 375

Hailes castle near East Linton another gem

No mention of Kisimul Castle in Castlebay on the isle of Barra?

I thought it looked a bit sad and lost out there in the bay,like a wee abandoned prison.

It’s Dunnottar for me,a cell with an open wall and a floor with a slope towards the cliff/death ,also one of the best views from a public toilet.
