Hi Mustang, What country as 'ipflo' asked ? Then we can throw a whole series of ideas at you. Try Italy or Spain, then you can enjoy the sunshine whilst you search. Or the remains of a Welsh one in an unusual setting .. how about Deganwy. Why is the setting unusual ? |

Giving you names of castles you haven't heard of is easy, but it's more difficult if you also want info on them to be easily avaiable on the web. Also, how complete do you want the remains to be?Try these, most not too ruined; Montfort, Israel. Antipatrus, Israel. No info on the web last I checked. Toprakkale, Tumlu, Yilan(Ilan) and Kozan castles, Turkey. No info on most of them on the web last I checked. Let us know what you think. There are plenty more. Erik

Maybe you would be interested in researching Ashley Castle. It lies in Hampshire, England, just north-east of Winchester.Whoops !! It's north-WEST of Winchester. Sorry. [This message has been edited by AJR (edited 03-20-2002).] |

Here's one for the real researcher, if Ashley wants to try it, there's my old 'favourite' Bean Castle, or I've a suspicion that there was a fortified house of some kind at Daldowie just outside Glasgow. There's two that really haven't been researched succesfully and a real challenge! |

I said "unfortunately" because you said you wanted something "new" or unresearched. |
