Is this what you're looking for or did I misunderstand?
This is a great tip but when I do it the resulting map is not a satellite one in google maps. Anyway with some fiddling with the URL I can make it go to the satellite version.

If you hack off all the fluff from the URL that is given from wikipedia and just do the ?q= bit with the coord in it then you can easily get to the proper map. Dont know if you guys are getting the right map off the bat but thats what I had to do.

I would recommend looking at the castles in Wales, esp Harlech, Caernaefon, Conwy etc
