It’s safe to say at one point in your life, you probably imagined what it would be like to live in a castle. Be honest. How cool would that be. Cold as hell, perhaps. But cool. Drones have given pilots the ability to get up and over some of the most beautiful castles in the world. No need for helicopters and high costs for fuel. A battery charge and some basic talent is all these pilots needed to capture these 14 amazing aerial castle images taken with drones. They are winners indeed…says the King.
