Castles and fortresses

[marquis2]

There are literally hundreds of castles still existing in the UK.Apologies if this link has already been posted ;http://www.castleuk.net/list.htm

One not on the list is Maiden Castle, a few thousand years older than the rest and a staggering feat of engineering for the time

I got to visit this one last year on a trip to Heidelberg, Germany... it was fantastic once we hiked up the steep frekin hill to it! :thumbsup:

The Heidelberg Castle (in German language named: Heidelberger Schloss)
