Castles

Corfe is my favourite, lovely village around it as well. Blown up as a lesson.
South Cadbury Castle, hill fort really, sacked by the Romans, but heavily refortified after the roman legions left, leading to loads of...ooh...Arthur?...
Maiden Castle is a beast, once again a hill fort.
Dover is a beauty.
Porchester is Roman and incredibly preserved.
Urquhart, on the banks of Loch Ness, is gorgeous.
Warwick is a great day out, nice to be able to walk the walls.

I live not a million miles from Corfe and my favourite training run starts in Corfe following the path to Kingston, climbing to the South west coast path, past Swyre head and Wolbarrow bay and then along the Dorset ridge path past Corte castle and back into the village. Stunning run and place.

Have you ever been to Skipton Castle BB?
I think that's the place where there's a 1000 year old oak tree. I might have my castles mixed up though ;-)
