Locate the Castle of your dreams....

Well the version I have is a 1987 version of this book. It is actually quite nice and handy. This book shows many pictures of the castles as well as where each one is located on maps for each separate area of England (north, south, east, west and even Scotland). Granted, the pictures of some of the Castles appear to be from either the 1960's, 1970's or at their earliest 1980's. However, I am sure little has changed. The synopsis of each castle mentioned within this books pages is historically informative but does not go into too much detail. I highly recommend this book especially if you are traveling to England/Scotland and don't want to waste time looking for castles that are over hyped or left in ruins that would not spark your interest or imagination. This book can help you quickly assess and pick the castles that may be more along the lines of a person's particular taste, desire or dream.
