Over the past 10 years Paul Martin Remfry has led a number of castle tours in different parts of the country. He has taken professional, semi-professional and amateur bodies as well as small and large groups of interested people around many castle sites. Paul's tours can be as long or as short as needed.
Half a day is usually sufficient to cover any castle site in great detail and if there is one thing Paul likes it is detail. You will learn how the men, women and children actually lived in the squalid splendour of their great castles, the cheapness of life and the great desire of the individuals to hold onto their own! See the great towering walls where headstrong lords once made desperate stands against impossible odds and lesser men made their terms with the enemy. Stand where kings, princes and lords have surveyed their estates and marvel at the great constructions they envisaged to guard what they thought theirs.
Tours can also be arranged for interested individuals or groups. Simply contact Paul at castles99@totalise.co.uk and state which castle you would like to visit, on what date and how many are in your group. For individuals wishing to visit a site, a list will be drawn up showing the interest generated in particular sites. When sufficient numbers can be gathered together a tour will be arranged.
Listed below are some of the sites that Paul will lead expeditions to in the near future. If you would like to attend any of these please contact the organizers listed below. Some of these dates are provisional.
