I've always admired the traditional castle, those great monoliths which are designed to keep out invaders (mostly the French). Whether it's an old fort with ruins or a heritage site which preserves a perfect monument; there's always something great about what man has achieved to accomplish such a structure. Giant keeps with huge dungeons to lock up their enemies and torture them in the darkest day. Passageways and towers to protect the finer occupants of the castle. And a great view all round; whether it's to admire the peasants of the land or to scout out a prospective invading army. And the best part of all is that they're now open for everyone to admire. I would quite like a coffee table book full of castles so that I can tick them off as I visit them.
