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.

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!!

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

Today there was a guy selling gelato from his bike shop. Cool, perfect whilst walking around

Lovely ruins to look at!

Returned to Ashridge House. Lovely setting. Wasn't overly impressed with the food if I'm being totally honest, on the evidence of this visit. Bit undercooked IMHO and quite pricey. Zillions of wasps descended when the food arrived, which made it difficult to enjoy eating. However, it's such a nice setting and relaxing place that I will visit again.

Beautiful setting and building. I'll check out the food on my next visit.

This is a wonderful section of running along a gravel path that squeezes between the Grand Union Canal and Marsworth Reservoir. The views along this stretch are simply superb, they feature colourful canalboats, flowing reeds, and lakeside bathers making the most of the sunshine.
