England is a country where it is easy to find historic monuments and buildings, palaces or castles, which, with their grandeur, remind us into the past during which, both the nobles that their numerous servants, it was possible to have a good life only inside the fortress.
Many of these castles are still inhabited and, to cite one example known to everyone, the Windsor Castle, the largest occupied castle in English, and then another inhabited castle located in the Northumberland region, in the north of England.
