Castles of Britain - "Castles have a timelessness that is awe-inspiring.

How many of us will have such long-lasting success?" ponders castle enthusiast Lise Hull. To explore her site, start with the Castle Learning Center, where you'll find dozens of topics to peruse, including Building a Castle, Birdseye Views, Dungeons, and Life in a Castle.

Castle life endured for centuries until gunpowder overpowered armor and stone . Now we know castles only as museums or ruins. But, as you'll see, castle dwellers still haunt these halls. As you explore, click on them to learn their secrets. Poke around on your own too; each room holds surprises."

Kids Castle - Kids' Castle is a fictional but historically accurate castle based on Nottingham Castle as it was in about 1480.  "The home page has an aerial view of the castle.
