About this tour
This session covers a stretch of the castle's outer fortification walls and one of its gates, away from the busier courtyards inside. You see the walls reinforced at different points across the centuries, then a gate that once controlled who could enter. It is a defensive-history session rather than a look at the castle's grander buildings.
I keep a steady pace along the walls, since the walk itself illustrates the scale of the fortifications. Questions come as we go, and I am happy to explain a specific reinforcement again if it is unclear. A short note on which sections are open to walk today follows by message afterwards.
This suits anyone interested in military or defensive history rather than only the castle's grand interiors. It also works well paired with the Golden Lane session.
