Well ours do anyway!! This website is aimed at sharing our experiences of visiting castles with two small children (and sometimes a teenage cousin) . It is hoped that this might inspire families to visit some castles together and experience the history around us.

The tower on the left of this image was demolished by engineers during the English civil war.

Visiting a castle with children is exciting, as they pretend they are knights or princesses, or just try to imagine what it would be like to live there. Maybe there are towers, turrets, cannons, small dark corridors to explore, a winding staircase to climb.

This website lists some of the castles we have visited as a family with photos, tips and comments. The list will continue to expand as we make further visits. My apologies to everyone who does not live in the South West of the UK as so far all the castles listed are in that vicinity, but we hope to venture further a field in the future. I have included the date of our visit, the information I state was current at that time, but if the visit was a few years ago now you may want to check out the current situation yourself. I would certainly recommend checking prices/opening times before you embark on a trip.

All the views expressed are my own , I try to be as honest as possible. The photos are all from our family album, the graphics created by my children. Please do not reproduce without permission.
