About the Book

Castle VisitsDescription

  • As a type of fortified building and mainly built in the middle ages by the rich, nobles and royalty, it became their fortress and home.
  • Knights in their armour, jousting and chivalry between them were seen as the order of the day.
  • On the other hand some castles even included prisons, such as The Tower of London, and dungeons (donjons) where people were tortured and incarcerated.
  • Some features of castles are Mottes, which were excavations of earth to form ramparts, and Bailey, a fortified enclosure placed on top of the Motte.
  • Keeps soon became stone structures, sometimes going up to very high and commanding levels (e.g. Rochester Castle Keep goes up more than 100 feet).
  • Outer walls could be as much as 3m thick and up to 12m tall, making scaling them difficult, to withstand siege and bombardment.
  • They can often be identified with their crenellated roof structures, arrow slits and towers.
  • These would be placed where they could make use of flanking arrow fire (sideways).
  • Still others uses concentric defences, such as invaders had to go round and round before entering the central area. Of course they came under fire all the time.
  • A lot of castles are surrounded by water filled moats.
  • Some castles are still inhabited today, the most famous of which is Windsor Castle a residence of the Queen of England.
  • In all some 1500 castles have been identified in the UK, many are mere marks in the ground, whereas others are practiacally still complete.
  • The oldest castles are Berkhamstead and Norwich which were both built in 1067.
  • Castles appear all around the world, notably in India and Japan.
  • However you will probably be interested in the ones in the UK.
The logbook is 120 pages long and 8.5" x 11" with a quality spine and soft cover.
