CastleFacts is comprehensive listing of all the medieval fortifications of England and Wales, large and small, great tourist attractions, lonely mounds of earth and even totally lost and generally forgotten places. This is a lot of places and CastleFacts uses the best features of modern design to make this information readily and attractively available. The data used in this site was intended for serious students of castles and some of the photographs are more architectural and archaeological than artistic but the site is intended for anyone interested in castles.

This site contains a fully searchable database of over 5000 medieval masonry and timber castles, siege works, palaces, fortified manor houses, tower houses, pele towers and bastles, artillery forts, chain and boom towers, fortified churches and monasteries, dykes and ditches, and town walls and defences located in England, Wales, the Channel Isles and the Isle of Man.

Details on each listing contains:

Description of the castle or monument

Facts about the sites including its location, legal status, National Monument Record number and county Historic Environment Record number

Location maps with optional birds eye and aerial view map directly linked within the page. Links to Ordnance Survey, Multi-map and Street Maps
