    Castle Neroche was a motte-and-bailey castle on the site of an earlier hill fort. Evidence suggests that it was an Iron Age hill fort before the Norman castle was built as the earth works are larger than most Norman castles.
    Now it's a really fascinating place; the old earth works are covered in trees with amazing views between the trunks. Managed by Forestry England.

    Castle Neroche is a significant historical site in Somerset, England, located on the northern escarpment of the Blackdown Hills. It is not a standing stone castle today, but rather a complex of impressive earthworks that reveal a long history of use.
