medievalprincess I need to build a model of a Welsh castle, and it must be made to scale.I just wanted to know how big a standard Welsh castle was (how many feet by how many feet).
Levan Try the Castles of Wales site - it has lots of information: http://www.castlewales.com/home.html
The following sites have plans of Welsh castles that include dimensional information:
The Castles of Britain:
Harlech http://www.castles-of-britain.com/castle42.htm
Beaumaris http://www.castles-of-britain.com/castle43.htm
Conwy http://www.castles-of-britain.com/castle41.htm
Philip Davis' "Castellarium Philippis" has lots of plans including:
Caernarfon http://www.castlesontheweb.com/members/philipdavis/Plans/album/pages/caernarfon_gif.htm
Chepstow http://www.castlesontheweb.com/members/philipdavis/Plans/album/pages/chepstow_jpg.htm
Conwy http://www.castlesontheweb.com/members/philipdavis/Plans/album/pages/conwy_gif.htm
Incidentally, there is a cut-out book with a model of Caernarfon Castle:
Cut and Assemble a Medieval Castle by A. G. Smith ISBN: 0486246639
There, that should get you started!

Philip Davis One of the great thing about castles is that they are all different, so there is no standard size. A great many welsh and english castles were small motte and baileys, perhaps as large as 50 meters by 30 meters. The great royal welsh castles, which are now world heritage sites, are all large for castles. Caernarfon is about 200 by 50 m, Harlech 80 by 70 m plus an outer bailey of a similer size. Beaumaris is about 120 by 100 m. Jeff Thomas's Castles of Wales site is the place to go, but the groundplans at my site are probably better if you need to download the plans for inclusion in printed work.
