Where to Photograph Castles of Wales & Marcher Lordships

We are attempting to list all places where photographers can photograph the Castles of Wales & Marcher Lordships. This is an alpha list by name of Castle or Lordship and contains over 600 entries so far, this is a start of a list that will both grow over time and hopefully we will be able to add more columns or information. Because of its size we have split it into smaller files, us the links below to get to the castle you are interested in.

A-B C D-H I-L M-P Q-T U-Z

Where the names in the first column is hyperlinked this links to a Location page with more information on this site and over time more of these will be added, we will be delighted if some of you would like to also produce location pages.
