• The imposing castle on the horizon was built in 993AD, replacing one destroyed by Vikings.""The original name, Bebbanburgh, has almost survived intact
• This is said to have been the capital of the British kingdom around the 5th century.""Does it look like a seat of power?
• With such a stunning location, it\s no surprise this fortification has an impressive media career.""Which 80s TV show saw it invaded by men in tights?
• Legend has it we\re gazing at Arthurian knight Lancelot\s much-loved castle Joyous Gard.""Which estranged king lived here during the War of the Roses?
