The Good Castle Guide is an attempt to list all fortified sites in England, Ireland, Wales and Scotland. These are not limited to just medieval castles, but range from prehistoric defensive ditches to twentieth century gun-emplacements.

The Guide is divided into four sections, one for each country. The sites for each country are held in a form similar to a database and can be listed using a number of indexes (alphabetical, county, era etc.).

Each site has its own data-page containing an address, Ordnance Survey grid reference, a brief description, and details regarding visitor access and facilities.

A number of the sites have one or more photographs. These can be accessed from the data-pages or by going to the separate photo section.

A further section of the Guide contains various explanatory articles which may help the novice castle-hunter and will probably irritate the expert.

To make the Guide even better, please don't hesitate to contact the Author with your comments and any information which will help to fill the many gaps!

Enjoy your visit to The Good Castle Guide
