Kids Love Castles!
This website is aimed at sharing our experiences of visiting castles with our two children . We have listed some of the castles we have visited as a family with photos, tips and comments. I have thrown in a bit of history of each castle as well, although mostly this is gleaned from guide books- sadly I can not claim to be a qualified historian!
Our visits span a period of more than ten years , so the children were young when we started, but not so young now. I think our photography has improved over the years too! As this is an ongoing project the site will be updated whenever we have more castle reviews to add, so do keep checking back.
Most of the castles featured are within day tripping distance of the South West of the UK, which is where we live, but there are some holiday visits too which are further afield. I have included the date of our visit, the information I state was current at that time, but if the visit was a few years ago now you may want to check out the current situation yourself. I would certainly recommend checking prices/opening times before you embark on a trip. The official website of each castle is listed at the bottom of the page for your further information.
Have Fun At Castles !
News from the Gatehouse- Our Blog
2024
Thought we would do a partial update, as we have already packed in quite a few visits and don't want to fall behind with uploading them onto the site. So all the new articles are on the top left hand side, but we have more visits planned so do keep coming back for the second update, probably towards the end of the year.
We have also added a section on castles connected with Richard III as Mum is in his fan-club (Ahem, the Richard II Society if you please- Mum) and is sure there are people out there who are of a like mind and may want to focus on R3 sites.
We hope you enjoy the updates and maybe feel inspired to visit a castle!!
If you scroll down you will see we now have a Twitter account, follow us for updates and general history related tweets.
Don't forget to look at our 'Other Places of Interest' page, with recommendations of other places to visit, all tried and tested by the C4K team!
