Castle presenter and historian Marc Morris introduces us to 10 of the best-preserved examples across the United Kingdom. Castles were both a fortress and a home. Built to withstand armed assault they also housed elegant ladies, poets, priests, children and animals - as well as brutish warriors. The series begins with an exploration into the birth of the castle in the British Isles, and proceeds to cover the evolution of the castles there.
