Thus practical and comprehensive guide to castles in Britain will be an invaluable companion for all those who enjoy visiting buildings of historical interest up and down the country. In his introduction Philip Warner explains the origin, function and development of castles from the early Roman forts to the later, more comfortable residential edifices, and details the defence and organisation within the castle areas. Entries are arranged alphabetically and concise details of how to get there are given. There are also many photographs and line drawings, as well as a glossary of technical terms. From the fourteenth-century Aberdour Castle in Fife to York Castle, steeped in medieval history, here are castles to hunt ghosts in, castles to eat and sleep in, ruins to explore and fortifications to admire. This guide will help you to get the maximum enjoyment out of your visit and suggest other places to see nearby.

About the Author:
"Philip Warner (1914-2000) enlisted in the Royal Corps of Signals after graduating from St Catharine's, Cambridge in 1939. He fought in Malaya and spent 1,100 days 'as a guest of the Emperor' in Changi and on the Railway of Death, an experience he never discussed. He was a legendary figure to generations of cadets during his thirty years as a Senior Lecturer at the Royal Military Academy, Sandhurst. Yet he will arguably be best remembered for his contribution of more than 2,000 obituaries of prominent army figures to The Daily Telegraph. In addition he wrote fifty-four books on all aspects of military history, ranging from castles and battlefields in Britain, to biographies of prominent military figures (such as Kitchener: The Man Behind the Legend; Field Marshall Earl Haig; Horrocks: The General who Led from the Front and Auchinleck: The Lonely Soldier) to major histories of the S.A.S., the Special Boat Services and the Royal Corps of Signals."
