Vivez comme un roi (ou une reine !)
Remontez le temps, à l'époque des rois et des demoiselles, lorsque les châteaux étaient vitaux dans la défense du royaume. D'ailleurs visiter un château est un incontournable en Grande-Bretagne et si vous souhaitez vraiment vivre comme à l'époque du royaume, dormez-y une nuit !
Wherever your visit to Britain takes you, you're never far from a castle reflecting thousands of years of human occupation. If only their walls could talk, what tales they would tell! Amberley Castle, for example, has stood in the West Sussex countryside for over 900 years, originally beginning life as a hunting lodge for the Bishops of Chichester. A later owner was Queen Elizabeth I, who held the lease from 1588 to 1603.
Wales is renowned as the 'Land of Castles'. Conquering Normans were the first castle builders, constructing strongholds in strategic locations along the coast and deep in the mountains. You really can be king or queen of your own castle when you stay at Penhow Castle in South Wales, the oldest lived-in castle in Wales dating from the 17th century, where you can be assured of a good night's sleep in Penhow's one guestroom featuring an Edwin Lutyens bed.
