A Brief History of the Renowned Castles of England

The castles of the UK are some of the most entrancing in the world. Warwick, Leeds and Windsor are just three fortresses that are amongst the most charming in England. Try to visit at least one of these on an England tour: you will certainly not be disappointed.

More Information

Warwick Castle has held an entrancing history, which dates back, amazingly, almost 1,100 years. From its comparatively humble early stages in 914, when Ethelfleda, daughter of Alfred the Great, ordered that an earthen rampart be built to defend the little hill top community of Warwick, it has been through a great deal of development and growth before achieving its current exquisite magnificence. Delve into the truly majestic interiors of the Castle in depth. The State Rooms have oft been embellished by successive sovereigns since the 14th century. Allow yourself to simply become beguiled by the intricate and lavish furnishings of the rooms. Ensure you also traverse the spectacular Conservatory and Peacock Garden by Warwick and stratford tours.

Visit Windsor Castle and become spellbound by this remarkable castle, one of the finest in the UK in terms of its beauty as well as the intense regal narrative it possesses. Taking a Windsor Castle tour is like taking a journey into the past: this is the oldest castle on the globe, after all. It has been home to an unbelievable series of kings and queens. The elaborate State Apartments of royal Windsor Castle are indisputably one of its highlights. These lavish apartments include some beautiful artworks from the Royal Collection. The architecture of St George’s Chapel is seen by many as a pinnacle of the Gothic style in England, and this chapel is also historically mesmerizing, as the burial place of ten monarchs. Captivating Queen Mary’s Dolls House and the sumptuous Drawings Gallery are also sure to capture your imagination on your Windsor tour.

Take a Leeds Castle tour for a truly overwhelming day. Leeds Castle holds great repute as one of the most impressive castles in the whole of the UK. It has been, at diverse points in its fascinating past, under the ownership of six different queens of England, a palace used by Henry VIII, and, in its earliest incarnation, a Norman stronghold. A day tour to Leeds Castle is thus an experience that will stay embossed in your mind.

Make a wise decision about which castle, or, indeed, which castles you would like to discover to make your London tours truly thrilling, exhilarating experience that you will not soon forget.
