Berkshire Travel Guide - Castles

 

Donnington Castle
Newbury, Berkshire
A twin-towered gateway stands at the entrance to this 14th century stronghold. Sadly, the remainder of Donnington Castle is little morre than earthworks, but the gatehouse is still very striking and well worth a visit. The castle was built by Richard Abberbury the Elder, and was later the home of Thomas Chaucer, son of poet Geoffrey Chaucer. It was besieged several times by Parliamentary troops duing the English Civil War, but never taken.

English Heritage

Windsor Castle
Windsor Castle Windsor, Berkshire
This enormous castle was started by William the Conqueror, and added to by just about everyone else over the succeeding centuries, notably by Edward III in 1349. Edward's efforts made Windsor the single largest crown building project of the Middle Ages. The grounds contain St. George's Chapel, home to the Order of the Garter.
