Bishop's Stortford is a large commuter town that expanded rapidly from the Second World War onwards. It's home to the motte-and-bailey castle remains of Waytemore Castle, which stand above the River Stort in the centre of the town. Being an important market town, there are many old pubs, including the timber-framed, 16th-century Black Lion.
