You searched for "CASTLE" in our simplified list of the main towns and villages, but the match we found was not what you wanted. There are several other ways of finding places within Vision of Britain, so read on for detailed advice and 74 possible matches we have found for you:
- If you meant to type something else:
- If you typed a postcode, it needs to be a full
postcode: some letters, then some numbers, then more letters.
Old-style postal districts like "SE3" are not precise enough
(if you know the location but do not have a precise postcode or placename,
see below):
- If you are looking for a place-name, it needs to be
the name of a town or village, or possibly a district within a town.
We do not know about individual streets or buildings, unless they
give their names to a larger area (though you might try our
collections of Historical Gazetteers and
British travel writing).
Do not include the name of a county, region or
nation with the place-name: if we know of more than one place
in Britain with the same name, you get to choose the right one
from a list or map:

You have just searched a list of the main towns, villages
and localities of Britain which we have kept as simple as possible.
It is based on a much more detailed list of
legally defined administrative units: counties, districts, parishes,
wapentakes and so on.
This is the real heart of our system, and you may be better off
directly searching it.
These administrative units are not currently included within
"places" and exactly match your search term:
It may also be worth using "sound-alike" and wildcard searching to find units with names similar to your search term:

- If you are looking for hills, rivers, castles...
or pretty much anything other than the "places" where people live and lived, you need
to look in our collection of Historical Gazetteers.
This contains the complete text of three gazetteers published in the
late 19th century — over 90,000 entries.
The following descriptive gazetteer entries exactly match your search term:
It may also be worth using "sound-alike" and wildcard searching to find names similar to your search term:
Place name County Type of entry Source Castle Wigtownshire a small bay Groome Castle Cork island Bartholomew Castle Glamorgan hamlet Bartholomew Castle Montgomeryshire hamlet Bartholomew Castle Stirlingshire a hamlet Groome Castle Ayrshire part of Bartholomew Castle Montgomeryshire place Bartholomew Castle Stirlingshire hamlet Bartholomew Castle Down island Bartholomew Castle Ayrshire a hamlet Groome Castle Dorset another name for Bartholomew CASTLE Glamorgan a hamlet Imperial CASTLE Montgomeryshire a township Imperial CASTLE Montgomeryshire Imperial Castle or Kismull Inverness Shire a hamlet and a little bay Groome
- Place-names also appear in our collection of British travel writing. If the place-name you are interested in appears in our simplified list of "places", the search you have just done should lead you to mentions by travellers. However, many other places are mentioned, including places outside Britain and weird mis-spellings. You can search for them in the Travel Writing section of this site.
- If you know where you are interested in, but don't know the place-name, go to our Historical mapping, and zoom in on the area you are interested in. Click on the "Information" icon, and your mouse pointer should change into a question mark: click again on the location you are interested in. This will take you to a page for that location, with links to both administrative units, modern and historical, which cover it, and to places which were nearby. For example, if you know where an ancestor lived, Vision of Britain can tell you the parish and Registration District it was in, helping you locate your ancestor's birth, marriage or death.
