Talking about Castles, are any of them in the right place. I checked the position of two I know about (Dunstanburgh and Tynemouth) and they appear to be way off. Neither one is shown on the coast and I think Tynemouth appears to be in a residential street IIRC.


erm... anyone else want to either confirm or deny this? i presume that the co-ords generally take you to the car park rather than to the actual castle itself... i'll check the 1 near me...

...which appears to be spot on - skipton castle.

You can check the positions on Streetmap. Tynemouth castle appears 1.7km
away from its true position and Dunstanburgh a mere 13km away from its position in Embleton. Skipton castle seems to be only 1km away as the crow flies but it doesn't seem to be a car park. Bamburgh is about 1.2km away as well and I suppose when you get that close you can probably see it. [/img]
