Visit Castles and Stay in a Pub

The UK is a treasure trove for history lovers, offering some of the most iconic castles and ancient ruins in the world. From the towering battlements of Edinburgh Castle to the atmospheric remains of Tintagel on the Cornish coast, the landscape is dotted with reminders of Britain’s rich and turbulent past. Whether you’re intrigued by medieval strongholds, royal residences, or windswept coastal ruins, there’s no shortage of fascinating sites to explore. Each castle tells its own story – of power struggles, romance, rebellion, or resilience – making the UK a dream destination for those who love stepping back in time.

One of the best ways to enhance your historical adventure is by staying in a traditional pub with rooms near these incredible landmarks. Many of our recommended inns are nestled in charming villages or historic market towns just a stone’s throw from famous castles. Not only do they offer cosy accommodation and hearty local food, but many of them also have their own storied pasts – from coaching inns dating back centuries to former manor houses with a connection to the nobility. It’s the perfect way to immerse yourself in history by day and relax in comfort by night.
