As part of the fortification process he ordered the building of
the Mound in 1068. Its position and height gave it views all
around of any approaching invaders.
As various other parts of the castle were constructed the Mound
fell into disuse and by the 1600s it became part of the castle's
gardens. On the left is a view of the very top of the mound. On
the right is a picture of the spectacular view from the top of
the Mound. It's worth a trip to the top just for the views. |
