Summary
Britain's landscape is dotted with quite incredible castles, from towering and imposing masterpieces to crumbling, romantic ruins. In this week's podcast, we speak to Country Life magazine's Architectural Editor, John Goodall — the man who didn't so much write the book on castles as write a whole bookshelf's worth — to find out which five are his favourites.John picks out five wonderful examples which show the full range of Britain's architectural legacy: Headingham, Knaresborough, Lancaster, Belvoir (pronounced 'Beaver') and Castle Drogo. And then he throws in a very special extra bonus castle at the end — arguably the greatest castle on the face of the planet, whose fate has been intertwined with that of the Royal Family for 1,000 years.Episode creditsHost: James FisherProducer and Editor: Toby KeelGuest: John GoodallMusic: 'Summertime' by JuliusHSpecial thanks: Adam WilbournFind out more about the podcast and see the episode notes at countrylife.co.uk/podcastFollow Country Life on Instagram @countrylifemagazineOn Facebook @countrylifemagazineAnd on Twitter @countrylifemag Hosted on Acast.
