Castles are often the highlight of a UK trip, but not every fortress deserves precious time on your clients’ England itineraries. This guide for travel advisors cuts through the noise and focuses on the best castles in England to visit, from royal Windsor Castle and family-friendly Warwick to coastal Bamburgh, moated Bodiam, atmospheric Ludlow, and romantic Leeds Castle. You’ll learn which castles pair well with London, the Cotswolds, Wales, and Scotland, how long to allow at each stop, and which clients will love them most, families, history buffs, photographers, or couples. Use it as a plug-and-play resource to design memorable England castle tours and UK vacations where every castle stop truly earns its place.
