No, Bodiam has 7 more than Doune, although they're bigger

A bit more 'dogged' detective work required DM!!!!!

Another clue, the missing castle is in Wales . . .

No.
Top picture (quiz 2 jpg) is Doune castle
Bottom picture (quiz 3 jpg) is Bodiam castle.
Both identified by pjharvey.

The middle picture (quiz 1 jpg) is the Welsh one.
Not one of the most famous of Welsh castles but one that is linked to the other two.

Clue?
The film industry
