I love castles and recently visited Dover castle and travelled there in the boat. Re South and South West can anyone recommend any other castles that are on the coast as I am keen to form a list.

The castle to port as you enter Falmouth is worth a visit. Hurst castle at the Needles end of the Solent is good.

Pendennis to port, and St. Mawes to starboard. Both worth a visit. St. Mawes features(features) in numerous films and programmes. "The Buccaneers, Coast etc etc)
And of course, quite a few up this way.....................

And Kingswear is on the other side, but not open to the public.
There's another at St Mawes across from Falmouth. And there's quite a few impressive castles in Wales.

Manorbier Castle for one, next bay over from Tenby which also has a castle. Anchor off, tender in and a two minute walk to the castle.

Yea but mine has a nearbye clubhouse with bar plus shorepower for your boat...no scrabbling about with a reluctant outboard and your boat and dinghy will probably still be exactly where you left them apon your return

And not forgetting Yarmouth castle. Entrance by Salty's restaurant.
Also Weymouth has Nothe fort. Not technically a castle but very similar in feel.
