A2: About 10 miles from us lie the ruins of @BerkoCastle, where the Anglo-Saxons surrendered to William the Conqueror in 1066. Thomas Beckett owned (and lost) it, Geoffrey Chaucer was Clerk of Works here and it features in Graham Greene's novel Doctor Crombie @LindaPeters64 #TRLT

A2: Fort Mason is standing strong in case we ever need to blow up the Golden Gate Bridge. Also (and more significantly), during WWII, two-thirds of all U.S. troops sent to the Pacific passed through this port #TRLT #SanFrancisco

A2: The impressive Peles Castle was the first in Europe to have electricity. It even has an elevator and a central vacuum system - impressive for a place built in the late 1800s. #TRLT

A2 The best castles, palaces and forts close to home is Casa Loma. A great spot for a tour and even better for Afternoon Tea! https://t.co/1AYyp6h7eM @SeeTorontoNow @CasaLomaToronto #TRLT @LindaPeters64 @heidiSiefkas

A2 I'm fascinated by the Palace of Khudayar Khan in Kokand. It's a fraction of its original size - most of it was destroyed by the Soviets - but what's left is dazzling. #TRLT

A2 #TRLT Fort Clatsop is part of @LewisClarkNPS. A reproduction of the original fort is behind this welcome center. When Lewis & Clark were exploring the Pacific NW, they stayed at the original fort in the winter of 1804-05. Interesting place to see if you get this way.

A2 #TRLT Actually, I just wrote a piece about Grianan Ailigh, a ringfort in Donegal which has a history spanning (mythical, perhaps) builders far back in the mists of time up to Victorian archaeology, present day research continues too #Donegal #Ireland https://t.co/TWRaVvQYKH

replying to @JLipowski @JLipowski @LindaPeters64 A2: the Chateau de Mareuil is fascinating. It’s a private home, is crumbling and is super dramatic. A modest castle by French standards, it belonged to a wealthy land owner. I love it cos it’s not a fairytale! #TRLT

A2 This is in the former GDR & was in ruins until 1993. Finished in 2013. It had UNESCO World Heritage status for its cross-border cultural landscape. One can walk through its park from Germany to Poland.
It is fascinating to experience up close how far Europe has come. #TRLT

A2. The only forts nearby in Idaho are now Indian Casinos. However, there is Minidoka National Historic Site, which is a former Japanese internment camp. Definitely fascinating and tragically sad. #TRLT

A2: A nearby Fort that's history fascinates me is Fort Langley; known as the birthplace of British Columbia, Canada. 🍁
Built in 1827, as a Hudson’s Bay Company fur trading post, on the Fraser River, it was once part of a trade route for the British Empire.

@LindaPeters64 A2 #TRLT We enjoyed discovering the ruins of Fort Craig in New Mexico. It had connections to the US Civil War and westward expansion/wild west stories. Found it by accident on a cross country road trip!
