    Great lens, i have always waited, to visit England. For many different reason. But, one of them is to see the many castles there

    Great Lens. I loved going to Alnwick Castle and so did my family. Would definitely go back again when I get the chance..

    I have to say I was born in Alnwick and used to go to school right next to the on Bailiffgate castle there. I must go back soon....

    Beautiful lens. I did a lens on Hendingham Castle, the seat of the De Veres and birthplace of Edward De Vere, whom many of us believe was the real author of Shakespeare's works. Very nicely done. Here's a angel blessing for you.

    Never visited any of these in my stay in England, but they sound very interesting.

    I really love visiting the 'northern' castles, especially those in Yorkshire and Northumberland.
  • Northbright Apr 11, 2011 @ 6:48 pm | delete
    These castles are awesome and your lens on them is so beautiful and full of information. How I wish to tread the ground and see them from the inside and from the distance. Thank you so much.

    Awesome castles! Great lens! How I wish I could visit all of these. Thank you so much!

    Great presentation - I know Hever as an uncle lives nearby (but have never visited Scotney, for some reason), and Lindisfarne is a favourite.

    Hi,

    It is a new year and I am still getting to bless lens. I miss this one before but not now! Blessed :)

    Nice lens - I've been to 2 of the castles on the list (Alnwick and Lindisfarne), and I even went on the Harry Potter tour at Alnwick because it features in some of the films!

    One trip I have always wanted to take is to England to tour the castles. Wonderful lens.
  • PizmoBeach Oct 12, 2010 @ 4:28 pm | delete
    I really enjoyed reading this lens. I lived in England for 2 years and tried to see as many castles as I could (I am a bit obsessed with English, especially the War of the Roses period and the Tudor period and the Howard family). Arundel Castle was one of my favourite castles. I also loved Hever because of the connection with Anne Boleyn.

    5*...very nice lens, love the images, info and maps...will lensroll this to my castle lens.

    I'm fond of history and study the French one since I'm 10 years old - I'm not finished yet and won't be by my last day on Earth. You built a fantastic page on English castles and I saved your profile on my computer so that I can check all of your castle lenses!
    Meanwhile, I lensroll to my Broadstairs lens as it's related.
    Squidangel blessings to these marvellous castles of Albion!

    Beautiful, well-designed lens. Castles of England are now absolutely on my list of places to visit when I go to Oxford next summer for the annual meeting of the Emily Dickinson International Society. It appears Arundel, Hever and Scotney are within a "reasonable distance." Right?

    I've written a lens on another English castle that you might like, that of Dover Castle which I can see from my window. Great lens you have here!

    There is something very special about castles. I live in England and have seen some, but not all, of the castles featured. Great photos, most enjoyable top notch lens.

    Excellent lens (5 *) I love castles too, although there aren't too many near where I live in London. I can however see a stately home from my lounge window (Ham House) and there are a few Victorian "Gothic" buildings around here too.
  • GypsyGirl68 Oct 25, 2008 @ 10:39 pm | delete
    very nice! I was fortunate to tour several UK castles in 2005-06 and plan to return next summer! off to look at parts 2 and 3 now

    Love English castles! I dragged the family around a few on our last trip to England to visit my mother-in-law. Alnwick castle is truely beautiful and we were there when they had a Knight school full of great activities for the kids to pretend they were knights from days of old. Lindisfarne is wonderful in summer. My favorite English castle would have to be Durham castle next to the most beautiful Durham Cathedral and Bamburgh castle over looking the sea.

  • BizGuides Sep 2, 2008 @ 6:21 pm | delete
    Castles have always intrigued me. What a testament to the ability of man to erect these massive stone fortresses and homes in perilous times to protect his family and possessions. 5 *'s definitely!
