First walk up the long hill road from #berkhamsted Castle to the Common. Water End where the fragility of the view is unnerving. Add one building, or chop a tree, and it would burst like a bubble. (Brian Dunning, Country Life, 11 Aug 1966). facebook.com/BLHMS/posts/137…

Good to see #berkhamsted castle moats looking healthy these days. The Apr 1931 edition of Country Life reported on clearing work at the site with a photo showing mott and moat, which had become almost wholly silted up. facebook.com/BLHMS/posts/135…

Me and some school chums storming the castle back around 1966. Happy memories from when I lived in Berkhamsted.

Drainage works are currently being undertaken by Hertfordshire County Council in the roads round the castle, at the rear of Berkhamsted Station. This also involves removal of silt from the moat. During these works the Castle remains open to the public.

#OnThisDay in 1066 William the Conqueror won the Battle of Hastings ⚔️
With his wife Matilda of Flanders, he started a new Norman dynasty in England and ordered the building of the White Tower at the Tower of London, which remains his most imposing physical legacy. 🏰
