Carlisle Castle, Carlisle, Cumbria
🏰The castle is over 900 years old and has been the scene of many historical episodes in British history. Given the proximity of Carlisle to the border between England and Scotland, it has been the centre of many wars and invasions. During the Jacobite Rising of 1745–6, Carlisle became the last English fortress to undergo a siege. Though the castle we see today has its roots in the early medieval period, the history of Carlisle Castle goes back long before then. In AD 72 the Romans built a large fort defended by earthwork walls and a timber palisade. That fort acted as a staging post for Roman incursions into Scotland and later acted to support garrisons serving on Hadrian's Wall. By the mid-2nd century it was one of the largest and most important military forts in Roman Britain.

Harlech Castle, North Wales
🏰Harlech Castle perches on top of a high cliff, affording one of the best views across the northern half of Cardigan Bay and large sections of Snowdonia on the landward side. According to Welsh mythology, the ruins of the present castle were built on top of a fortress that once belonged to the giant Bendigeidfran (the blessed Bran), who lived here with his sister Branwen, after whom one of the towers is named. However, archaeologists have found no evidence for a Welsh fortified structure predating Edward I's castle.

Edward I commissioned the construction in 1283 as part of his great `Iron Ring? of castles along the Welsh coast to subject the indigenous population to his rule. At that time, it was still possible to supply Harlech by boat as the sea reached all the way up to the cliffs. When Owain Glynd'r laid the castle under siege in 1404, the garrison stationed there was grossly understaffed and surrendered themselves. As a result, Glynd'r established his home seat and military headquarters here for the next four years. The most famous siege, however, occurred during the Wars of the Roses from 1461 to 1468. This siege, the longest in British history, is said to have inspired the song `Men of Harlech?.

St Edmundsbury Cathedral and Abbey ruins…
Bury st Edmunds, Suffolk,
The Abbey was once among the richest Benedictine monasteries in England, until the Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1539. It is in the town that grew up around it, Bury St Edmunds in the county of Suffolk, England. It was a centre of pilgrimage as the burial place of the Anglo-Saxon martyr-king Saint Edmund, killed by the Great Heathen Army of Danes in 869. The ruins of the abbey church and most other buildings are merely rubble cores, but two very large medieval gatehouses survive, as well as two secondary medieval churches built within the abbey complex. Originating in the 11th century, the Cathedral was rebuilt in the 12th and 16th centuries as a parish church and became a cathedral in 1914

Glastonbury Tor, Somerset
This fascinating hill, with its tower on the summit, the distinctive terracing, represented in the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, has drawn people to climb its slopes for millennia. Visible from far away and from all roads leading to Glastonbury it acts as a beacon for the approaching traveller. The Tor is the tallest of the four hills of Glastonbury and, unusual in its shape, it rises steeply out of the Somerset Levels. It is a natural hill, but the specific features and shape of the Tor, its location and function in the landscape has given rise to a wealth of myths, legends and evolving stories, from ancient times to the present. A climb to the summit will reward you with stunning views for miles. The Tor has been seen as a magnetic power-point and vortex, a crossroad of multiple ley-lines including the St Michael Line, a converging point for UFO’s, a ceremonial labyrinth and a place of re-birth and initiation. It has been the site of an ‘Arthurian’ stronghold, a Christian cross and chapel, a monastic community, a beacon fire and possibly a Romano-British pagan temple. It is also now regarded as housing a subterranean aquifer feeding some of the springs on the island. In 1539 the last Abbot of Glastonbury Abbey, Richard Whiting, was hanged on the Tor between two of his monks during the turbulent times of the Dissolution.

Dunnottar Castle, Scotland

🏰 Dunnottar Castle is a ruined cliff-top fortress which stands on the coast, just south of Stonehaven. The castle has played a key role in the history of Scotland; William Wallace, Mary Queen of Scots, the Marquis of Montrose and the future King Charles II, all graced the Castle with their presence.

Most famously though, it was at Dunnottar Castle that a small garrison held out against the might of Cromwell’s army for eight months and saved the Scottish Crown Jewels, the ‘Honours of Scotland’, from destruction. Crown, sceptre and sword now take pride of place in Edinburgh Castle.

The site is believed to have been fortified in the Early Middle Ages, in its present form the extensive remains of the Castle date from various periods. The oldest portion is the early 15th century keep with a range of buildings including stables and storehouses. The gatehouse is approached by a steep path and defended by three tiers of splayed gun-loops. The arched entrance is the only opening in a solid wall of masonry set into a cleft in the rock; a very impressive and dominating entrance.

Chirk Castle, Chirk, Wales
🏰 Chirk Castle is a 700 year old marcher fortress, which commands fine views over the surrounding countryside. It was built in the late 13th century by Roger Mortimer, Justice of North Wales for Edward 1. The castle was sold for 5,000 UK pounds to Sir Thomas Myddelton in 1595 and his descendants continue to live in part of the castle today. The Castle was completed in 1310 during the reign of the conquering Edward I to subdue the last princes of Wales. Built on an outcrop above the meeting point of the rivers Dee and Ceiriog, the imposing silhouette of the castle was a brooding statement of English intent in these disputed lands. With over 700 years of history, and as the last castle from this period still lived in today, Chirk Castle's many occupants have left behind lavish interiors and a beautiful and eclectic collection. The state rooms include a 17th-century Long Gallery, grand 18th-century saloon with rich tapestries, drawing room and servants' hall.

This Castle features in my 2025 Castles Calendar 👍Available to order
