]]>Alcazar Castle, Segovia
If you think this medieval masterpiece looks familiar, it may be because this structure inspired Walt Disney to create the now beloved ‘Cinderella castle’. This castle is open daily to visitors, and if you are checking it out you will need to allow plenty of time, because the castle and its grounds are massive! Dating from the 12th century, the site holds many fascinating artefacts and information for you to check out.

Although this castle may be on the smaller side, the backdrop is pretty unbeatable. Nestled between golden sand beaches, if you climb the castle ramparts you will be treated to a stunning view of the sea and the pretty town which sits beside it. This entire area is known for its beautiful beaches, and it is also relatively quiet. Just an 80 minute drive from Barcelona, be sure to check it out if you are in the area.
(@viewpoint.spain)Loarre Castle, Huesca
Situated just over an hour’s drive from the city of Zaragoza, this 11th century castle is in an almost intact state, making it a popular destination for history buffs. Take in the castle, and then take in the stunning rural scenery – as this castle is located in the north of Spain, it is far less crowded and busy than other areas.
Spain is a country that likes to do things exceptionally well, and its castles are no exception. Whether you want the grand majesty of Alcazar Castle, the seaside beauty of Tossa de Mar, or the rural seclusion of Loarre, each castle offers a spectacular and unforgettable experience.

]]>Edinburgh Castle and The Royal Mile
Edinburgh Castle is a mostly intact medieval castle that was the stronghold of the Kingdom of Scotland for many centuries. Built into the natural rock that sits at the top of the Royal Mile, it is full of fascinating history. Afterward, you can walk down the Royal Mile, which is an equally historically rich walk down the streets of Edinburgh that culminates at one of the royal residences, Holyrood Palace.
Arthur’s Seat
Arthur’s Seat is an ancient volcano that is only a short walk from the center of Edinburgh. It climbs 823 feet (251 meters) and offers amazing views of the city. It has also featured in many films, including Danny Boyle’s Trainspotting.
Edinburgh Zoo
Edinburgh Zoo is open all year round and is one of the UK’s best-loved zoos. It has been the only place to see Giant Pandas in the UK for the past twelve years, and although they are returning to China at the end of 2023, the zoo has hundreds of other animals to see including lions, bears, and even a Scottish Wildcat.

]]>Nottingham Castle
Nottingham Castle is situated right in the heart of the city center and its placement at the top of a hill means it has excellent views across the city. The castle has a fascinating history and was the residence of the Sheriff of Nottingham, as well as an important site of battle during the English Civil War. The oldest pub in Britain, ‘Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem’ is also nearby and well worth a visit, the interior of the pub is built into the caves underneath the castle.
Sherwood Forest
Sherwood Forest is the home of the legend of Robin Hood and used to cover an enormous expanse of Nottinghamshire. Though it has been diminished by woodland clearance in the past few centuries, it is still a forest of great significance, being home to some of the most ancient woodland in the UK. Not least is the Major Oak, which is estimated to be over 1,000 years old.
Wollaton Hall
This country estate is placed right on the edge of Nottingham and has been used as a location for many films, notably as Wayne Manor in Christopher Nolan’s Dark Knight Trilogy. With over 500 acres of parkland to explore and regular art and history exhibitions in the Hall, Wollaton has lots to offer for all the family.

Lisbon Portugal Congrats @aziz_boussalem & @peter.rajkai Use #map_of_europe #PortugalThe tower was designed by Francisco de Arruda, a Portuguese architect and artist. It includes five floors and a roof terrace. The first floor has 16 cannons installed in 16 windows as well as prison pits. To climb up to the other floors you might have to wait for others to climb down, since the staircase is very narrow.

This is a Romanesque-style castle located in Bavaria which is considered Germany’s most visited castle. This is probably due to its fairy-tale-like towers. It was built in the 19th century and was the inspiration to the castle in Disney’s Sleeping Beauty.
