How many castles are there in the UK?
17?
Possibly one of the most disappointing categories on PocketGPSWorld. Let's change it!
Submit a castle or castles near you: http://www.pocketgpsworld.com/modules.php?name=POIs&ShowSubmit[/url]

But at least he's trying to improve them even if he hasn't subscribed for the cams.  |

Yes, and English Heritage.
CADW (Welsh) sites are also shown under the above.
(Evidently Monmouthshire has more castles than any other county in the UK).

This is the reason that I'd like the following main categories merged into one (but keeping the sub categories as they are):
 Attraction
Heritage Site
Historical & Cultural

Be aware that the merging of Sub-categories, within the above mentioned Categories, has now been completed.
Find them under Attractions.
