6 Ruined Castles Across the UK, Reconstructed

Britain is rightly known for its great stately houses, castles, and churches – and its ruins are also worthy of celebration. Wandering through ancient ruins can inspire tales of adventure, historical insight, and wonder for the way we used to live. But there is one drawback with exploring a half-destroyed fortress: you only get half the story! 

So here are six ruined castles, identified from the top, Onward digitally reconstructed to show the true splendour enjoyed and defended by yesteryear’s barons, queens, and kings.

• Dunluce Castle (County Antrim, Northern Ireland)
• Dunstanburgh Castle (Northumberland, England)
• Bothwell Castle (South Lanarkshire, Scotland)
• Goodrich Castle (Herefordshire, England)
• Caerlaverock Castle (Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland)
• Kidwelly Castle (Dyfed, Wales)
