Be transported through time with this wonderful guidebook to Britain's 60 best castles, and 60 delightful walks from and around them.
Castles often sit in spectacular landscapes that also offer exceptional walking opportunities, and some of the best views of castles are from a distance, where they can be seen in the context of the landscape. The Walker's Guide to the Castles of Britain will inspire both keen walkers to visit castles and castle visitors to explore the surrounding area, by describing 60 of the best and most popular castles in Great Britain and an accompanying delightful short walk from each.
Each chapter describes the castle itself, its history and architectural features, and how those relate to the landscape that surrounds it, followed by an easy-to-navigate description of the walk itself. This absorbing text is accompanied by brilliant photography of the castle and the sights you will see on your walk, and a useful map to guide you on your way.
From the well-known and popular castles such as St Michael's Mount, Tintagel Castle, Corfe Castle and Edinburgh Castle, to the lesser-known gems like Kidwelly Castle, Castle Stalker and Framlingham Castle, The Walker's Guide to the Castles of Britain will show you how to better enjoy the castles you already know and love and discover some new ones to add to your favourites list.
