The United Kingdom is steeped in history, and nothing represents this history more than its storied castles. From Dunrobin Castle in the north of Scotland to Dover Castle on the southernmost tip of England and the keeps erected in the infancy of the Norman conquest or the romantic follies of the Victorians, all of the UK's castles offer a layered insight into over a millennium of the nation’s history. Powerful and poetic, no region in the country displays this timeline as comprehensively as the county of Cumbria.
