Places to Visit during Castle Stays UK
When it comes to choosing the perfect place to book castle stays in the UK, we’ve got a few suggestions to help you make your decision if you’re stuck for ideas or looking for inspiration!
One place that’s well worth visiting is Aberdeenshire, a vast and beautiful county that can be found tucked away in North East Scotland. Built to defend the region against attacks from rival clans and invasions from the North East of England, the area is also home to a vast coastline with a host of award-winning beaches, as well as some lovely towns and villages to explore such as Braemar, Stonehaven and Fraserburgh.
On the other hand, Yorkshire can also make for a great place to book castle stays in the UK. A county that once fought against Lancashire in the infamous War of the Roses, the landscapes of each (particularly North Yorkshire and the Yorkshire Dales National Park) are dotted with impressive fortifications from centuries gone by; Some of the most impressive include Castle Bolton and Middleham Castle, the latter being the place where Richard III spent most of his childhood.
