Berkhamsted Castle is a formidable Norman motte-and-bailey fortress in Hertfordshire. It is historically famous as the site where the Anglo-Saxons surrendered to William the Conqueror in 1066. For over 400 years, it served as a high-status royal residence, home to figures such as Thomas Becket, the Black Prince, and even Geoffrey Chaucer, who managed its upkeep. Architecturally, it is distinguished by its massive 12-metre motte and a rare, well-preserved system of double moats. Though largely in ruins today, the earthworks remain among the most impressive in England. Now managed by English Heritage, the site is free to explore and offers a direct link to the events that followed the Battle of Hastings.

Best cinema in berkhamsted. Comfy.

Enjoyed my visit to Berkhampstead Castle. Another example of fortifications erected following the invasion of England by William The Conquerer in 1066. The aim, a symbol of power over the conquered Anglo-Saxons and the Normans wanted to make sure it stayed that way!!

Views of the grand canal and walking paths

Be nice if there was a longer river trail to have a break from all the canal traffic

Some really beaut views of the River Bulbourne, wish you could see more of it

Fantastic history here and appreciate what is left standing. A very peaceful lawn and area to take some quiet time out

Lovely ruins to look at!
