A
fairytale medieval castle, one of the most famous in Britain.
Rising from the moat which is filled with huge carp. Built
in anticipation of a French Invasion in 1385 which never
happened. Due to the castle being in fine condition you
can see superb examples of old English architecture with
rounded corner towers, battlements, portcullis and extensive
moat.
Beautiful views over the surrounding parkland from the battlements.
