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. This book 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 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.
