There are hundreds of castles in England, each with its own special charm and appeal. The following are a few we think should be on everyone’s must-see list.

Arundel Castle
Arundel Castle is impressive in size and is more modern in appearance than most other castles in England. The 1,000 year-old castle was originally of Norman construction, but has been added to over the years, most recently by Queen Victoria (1819 - 1901). Today the grand castle is home to extravagant furniture, artwork, tapestries, stained glass, china, clocks, sculptures, armor, and beautiful well-kept gardens. Arundel Castle is open from 21st March to 2nd November 2008 -  Tuesday to Sunday inclusive, and closed Mondays (except August Mondays and Bank Holiday Mondays.)

Tintagel Castle 
The legend of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table surrounds the ruins of this castle. Built around 1240 by Earl Richard of Cornwall, Tintagel Castle’s ruins sit atop a high slate cliff overlooking the ocean. The castle’s history dates back before medieval times to the fifth century according to the discovery of Saxon and Norman pottery. A beach lies at the foot of the castle, which gives entrance to Merlin’s Cave lying underneath the rock wall. Open: daily, closed Dec 25, 26 and Jan 1

Bath, one of the loveliest cities in England, has for centuries welcomed visitors, who came for the restorative powers of its famous mineral waters. The Romans built a magnificent temple and bathing complex that still flows with natural hot water. If you too would like to sample the waters, there is a new Thermae Bath Spa right in the city built just for that purpose. A world Heritage site, the city is a pedestrian delight; cobbled streets, charming Regency buildings and to add to the charm, the Avon River runs right through the center of town.
