Castles in Hertfordshire

The well-tended ruins of an important 11th-century motte and bailey stronghold built by William the Conqueror's half-brother, the Earl of Cornwall. Extended by Thomas Becket, besieged by the French Dauphin, and rebuilt by Edward, the Black Prince, Berkhamsted is one of the most impressive motte and bailey castles in England.
