Author: Plantagenet Somerset Fry
Format: Hardback
Number of Pages: 256
Britain and Ireland are full of castles, some still lived in, some reduced to little more than lumps and bumps in the landscape. Many of them have been the scene of great historical events - battles, sieges, executions, negotiations, kidnappings and betrayals. All have a story to tell. Their stories are often bloody and grim, but today most castles are fascinating and romantic places to visit. They include Windsor, a vast and rambling warren that would still be recognised by Medieval visitors; Carreg Cennen, a fabulous ruin complete with cliff-side 'secret' tunnel set in breathtaking landscapes in the mountains of Wales; Hermitage in the Scottish Lowlands where Mary Queen of Scots rode alone to visit her secret lover; and Blarney, most famous for its stone that you have to kiss in order to gain eloquence, but also one of Ireland's most impressive castles. Castle is based on the classic work by Plantagenet Somerset Fry and has been completely revised and redesigned for this brand new edition.
