You are learning about castles because they are one of the most fascinating buildings that have been there for hundreds of years. Not only will you learn how castles were attacked and defended you will also be able to design a strong castle of your own. As castles weren’t just about keeping yourself safe, you will learn what everyday life was like including cooking, sleeping and, yes, going to the toilet!
You will see lots of castles that are now ruins but also ones that are still lived in. All the time you will be asking yourself, ‘How do I know what castles were really like when some were built nearly a thousand years ago’. Perhaps visiting a castle near you will help you to answer.
