Jacket designed by Alan Book Services Ltd. // == // The castles of Wales could hardly have a more appropriate setting, to underline the grim purpose for which they were built. On the border marches of Wales, as in the Scottish border country, the grey stone watchtowers retained their military importance for many years after some areas of England had become - by the standards of the day - peaceful. The mountains of the west are the natural refuge Britain has always offered beaten men and retreating but defiant cultures; each new wave of invasion, from Roman to Norman, has paused as it reached the natural fortresses of the high country. Each time, the terrible campaigning country of Wales has had to be subdued ridge by ridge and valley by valley; and each time, the forward positions have been stabilised by the raising of a new chain of granite castles in strategic positions. The great wars of the 12th to 15th Centuries washed backwards and forwards across the mountains and the border country, and the Welsh castles rose and fell, were besieged and stormed, held and burned out time after time. In this book Alan Reid describes, in alphabetical order, all the important castles of Welsh history, and many of the most obscure. The potential visitor will find brief directions for finding each site, and useful information on ownership, public access, main surviving features of interest, admission fees, and so forth. He will also find the story of each castle, the record of inflexible purpose and bloody ordeal without which he can gain no insight into the significance of these impressive monuments to the past - so majestic, but so alien in the 20th Century world. In brief introductory chapters the author outlines the main sequences of events which shaped Welsh history in the relevant period, to provide a framework for the non-Welsh reader who may be confused by the constant recurrences of certain names and dates; and a simple description of the main features of castles of the day, with an explanation of the most frequently quoted terms.
