Who doesn’t love the Windsor Castle— The Royal Residence? Stunning castle with mixed Gothic, Victorian and Georgian Architectural elements that makes the castle unique and beautiful! I’ve been here thrice: once when I was younger with family and friends, then in 2019 when my relatives from abroad came to visit us and in during the pandemic, I cycled from London to Windsor Castle! Highly recommend! also Legoland is located nearby and Eaton College as well! There’s a lot to see and do here!

Leeds castle It’s really worth visiting. We came with the group. There is an English explanation. There are many collections of the British royal family. The interior decoration is really luxurious and court style. The furniture oil paintings are the top. There are also oil paintings by Henry VIII. The fireplace feels very retro.

If you ever dream of living in a castle like a royal, then England is where you will be next vacation. There are castles all over England, the result of centuries of feudal warfare and medieval nobles flaunting their power. Whether it’s a tower with a turret or a favorite majestic wall, here’s our list of castles in England where you can pretend to be a king or queen for a night or two. 1. Amberley Castle Location: Amberley, West Sussex Best: Enjoying the tranquillity of a couple's 14th century-style Amberley Castle has a history of more than 900 years and has 19 luxurious rooms surrounded by the original 60ft curtain wall with towers. Originally built by the Bishop of Chichester, the castle, by the hands of many, is most often used as a hunting lodge for nobles. Today, its elegant queen room is popular for dining and afternoon tea. The castle is just 90 minutes from London and is situated in the picturesque South Downs countryside of England. 2. Hover Castle Location: Hover, Kent Best for: History buffs and royals belong to Boleyns, the home of Anne Boleyn's childhood, Anne Boleyn, the second wife of Henry VIII and the Queen of England, stayed for only 1,000 days. When Anne was beheaded, the castle was handed over to Anne of Clives, Henry's other wife. The 700-year-old castle, gardens and lakes are open to the public on a day trip, but you can choose to stay like royals in the 28 deluxe rooms at the Hover Castle B&B or in a separate Tudor-style cabin called Medley Court 3. Warwick Castle Location: Warwickshire Best for: Family with children The medieval Warwick Castle was originally built in 1068 by William the Conqueror. Today it is transformed into a medieval theme park where you can take part in daily performances, replays and other activities. It is often visited on day trips to London, as well as nearby attractions such as Oxford and Shakespeare's home town of Stratford-upon-Avon. You can choose to camp out in a small white tent on the edge of the woods or live in a Knights Village hut. For something more luxurious, book a tower suite. 4. Thornbury Castle Location: Thornbury, Gloucestershire Best for: Tudor fans near Cotswold 16th century Thornbury Castle is a model of Tudor architecture. It was originally owned by Edward Stafford, the third Duke of Buckingham, who had a wealth and status comparable to that of King Henry VIII. Unfortunately, this led him to beheading and the castle occupied by the King where he and Anne Boleyn lived for a short time. You can stay in the suites used by royalty in the past or in any of the other 25 luxurious rooms named after the historical figures of the Tudor dynasty. 5. Location: Dartmoor, Devon Best for: Family group that enjoy outdoor activities, Botmoor Castle is a 20th century five-star rural resort located in the middle of Dartmoor National Park.

Since its construction in the 10th century, Leeds Castle has passed through the hands of many nobles, including six different British queens.

The 500-acre estate has many accommodation options - holiday cottages, bed and breakfasts, luxury tents and historic manor houses.7.

Located in Medway, Kent, England, Rochester Castle is a well-preserved square Norman building 113 feet tall, about 70 feet square, and 12 feet thick in walls. The castle was originally built by the Romans in Britain to facilitate the protection of troops on the way from Dover to London. In 1087, Bishop Gundulf used the remaining original Roman walls to build the castle we can see today, which is very historical. Although the castle was under siege three times during the war and partially demolished by King John in 1215, the castle that remains today can still give a shocking feeling. Now it is managed by the government and is open to visitors free of charge as a historical monument.

I have visited Ightham Mote many times over the years, but today I found it very frustrating as first we went into the house and it was all a different way round so were not entering the old entrance where the dressing up box is now, also the outside from the kitchen the old lavatory is now blocked although did not want to use it!! but it was very interesting seeing the old wooden boxed in toilet that I remember as a child, every room had so many roped off areas which really spoilt it, I was told that it was for safety reasons because of co-vid? (not now for goodness sake) one room had so many large written boards that you could hardly see the room, I am sure there was something else of interest in that room, but can't remember what it was.The whole place was rather spoilt now very disappointing, unless of course it was one first visit then you wouldn't know any differance. Signs to the restaurant were bad, everyone was walking up the old hill to the restaurant arrived at the top and it was blocked off, we were directed around to another entrance which we could not find till someone told us you had to go through the entrance marked Toilets the sigh was pass the toilets this should have been at the front. Just hoping that next year it will be back to its normal route round and all these ropestaken away. Disappointed.

Going to school here, when the spring blossoms are blooming, find a sunny day to look good ~ Standing here, you can see the net red hillside! But if you come to travel, there is no need to come specifically. I feel that every city's castle is almost the same

Located on the High Street of Townbridge, Kent, it is a 700-year-old castle that is now largely intact and has a grand exterior. Visiting the castle is free but requires donations for the maintenance of the castle, which is equivalent to buying a ticket. Outside the castle is a large grassy area, not far from a small river, seeing someone rowing in the river, this is a very beautiful place, worth visiting.
