Good links, Krieg! Thanks for the Harlech one -- that's my favorite castle.

http://www.castlewales.com/listings.html#Click on (Drill down - not all have floorplans, but several do - such as:

http://www.castlewales.com/raglan4.html
http://www.castlewales.com/beaumar1.html

http://www.castles-of-britain.com/ Argh. Floorplans apparently require a membership now. There were several though...

http://www.conisbroughcastle.org.uk/castle_plan.htm Neat, clickable one

Enjoy

Great links! Just have to note that it's Bodiam Castle, not Bodian. Went and saw that one on one of my last trips to England and saw it at a very dramatic moment as a storm approached. Made what is an otherwise rather simple castle into quite the experience. So it's a fave of mine.

You are unconscionably cool -- and now I have new wallpaper on my desktop. Heck, I may wind up printing the map out in its 4 pieces, taking it to Kinkos, and copying it onto one big piece. That'd rule.
