Castles

For a true taste of England, a trip to one (or more) of our legendary castles is an essential part of your vacation. We have many castles within a 2 hour drive of Well Cottage in the south of England- some are ruins, some are stately homes and one in particular is still a royal residence…

Windsor Castle, the world’s oldest and largest castle that’s still one of the official residences of His Majesty The King; Highclere Castle, where the Downton Abbey TV show and movie were filmed; Sherborne old and new castle; Corfe Castle; Old Wardour Castle; Arundel Castle; Dunster Castle; plus many more slightly further away like Warwick Castle, built by William the Conqueror, and both Leeds Castle and Dover Castle in Kent.
