Windsor would certainly be one of the two--the other would possibly be Warwick. Dover is also very large, with an extensive network of underground tunnels. Of course, some of the largest castles in Britain would actually be found in Wales. Caernarvon and Caerphilly, for example. Edward I built these massive fortresses, along with several others to keep down Welsh rebellion and establish secure Norman rule along the Welsh marches.

If you really want the biggest, it WAS Hereford Castle. Leyland references it as 'bigger in circuit than windsor'. It was ordered to be completely removed by Cromwell as it's formidable power was wintessed first hand. When it finally fell, parliament lost no time making sure it was never again to rise. The start of it was built by conquest baron William Fitz-Osbern, as a base for his marcher lordship. It was very powerful and manned with far too many troops, all who were constantly active on the frontier.

Windsor and Arundel ... Windsor is also the largest inhabited stronghold in the world, whilst Arundel is merely rather large.

I think it is Windsor and Alnwick, in Northumberland, home of the Duke of Northumberland.
