I've just been watching a series on Netflix about British castles so they all looked familiar. I got all the ones I had visited, but got a bit confused about which of the others was which :-)

90%. Didn't get the Glasgow one

confused
It is St Michael's Mount (Cornwall)

Mont St Michel is rather more built on.

How could Le Mont St Michel be suggested as a British landmark? BTW, I got 80%

80%. Should have known Cardiff castle because I've been there but didn't recognise it from that angle.

Was very pleased to get 90% Some guesswork was lucky!

Got 90% not bad . Didn't get man and horse in Glasgow!

hulahoop Fri 29-Jun-18 20:32:50

80% here

Grandmama Fri 29-Jun-18 17:55:24

80%. Must get out more!

grandtanteJE65 Fri 29-Jun-18 17:47:04

Can't get the link to work, and now you have really got me wanting to do the quiz!

Anniebach Fri 29-Jun-18 17:38:14

I am still have the lowest score, what a claim to fame.

Menopaws Fri 29-Jun-18 16:37:52

80% and I knew Edinburgh but touched the wrong one honest

granfromafar Fri 29-Jun-18 16:28:30

100% here too but some were flukes! Dover not too far away so knew that one.

DanniRae Fri 29-Jun-18 15:15:47

90% but I guessed a few!

BlueBelle Fri 29-Jun-18 15:11:39

60 for me too

carolyn12 Fri 29-Jun-18 14:39:01

80% but I don't seem to know much about castles.

Bellanonna Fri 29-Jun-18 12:15:28

100% earlier on. Didn’t post at the time as it felt like boasting, but happy to now as others have got a full house too. Admit to a couple of lucky guesses but on the whole I know the UK fairly well as we’ve had lots of breaks and holidays here.

goldengirl Fri 29-Jun-18 12:10:29

80%. Bit short on my castle knowledge!

Juggernaut Fri 29-Jun-18 12:10:14

I'm going to brag now, 100%
That's only because we usually have two holidays in this country each year, and DH is a fanatical photographer of buildings, and statues, and landscapes, but not of people, which suits me fine!

Minerva Fri 29-Jun-18 12:08:32

100% thanks to MawBroon and gillybob?

grandMattie Fri 29-Jun-18 12:04:07

Nanny41 Do go to Dover Castle if you can. It is lovely and very interesting - from the earliest Tunnels under the Channel, and French invasions, to the WWII rooms in the chalk cliffs, with fantastic views to France.

Nanny41 Fri 29-Jun-18 12:01:26

I managed 90 % Dover Castle put me off, as I have never been there

pollyperkins Fri 29-Jun-18 11:59:17

Not very good -only 60%

grandMattie Fri 29-Jun-18 11:52:52

Got 90% - Glasgow Art gallery flummoxed me.
no guesses either, maggie grin
