Impressive grassy ramparts and moat
Berkhamsted Castle的点评
点评：I’ve seen this castle from passing trains for years. I’m glad I finally made the time to get off and have a look. (It’s right next to Berkhamsted station and has free access any time.)
Ok, there are only a few bits of wall over a few feet high. But the grassy embankments are big and impressive. There are info boards, and you get a real sense of how the Normans conquered England a thousand years ago by building such huge fortresses on the motte-&-bailey model.
The motte (tall mound that would have had the main tower on it) was covered in wildflowers the day I visited. There are steps to the top and a good view.
I also enjoyed walking round the outer embankment. It overlooks the moat, which was lovely with ducks, geese, reeds and wild irises.
I was there about an hour in all.

翻译：多年来，我一直从火车上看到这座城堡。很高兴终于抽出时间下车去看看。（它就在伯克翰斯德火车站旁边，随时免费入场。）
好吧，城堡里只有几段几英尺高的城墙。但长满草的堤岸却非常宽阔，令人印象深刻。堤岸上设有信息板，你可以真切地感受到一千年前诺曼人是如何仿照城堡式建筑建造如此巨大的堡垒，征服英格兰的。
我参观的那天，城堡式建筑（高耸的土丘，主塔就建在上面）上长满了野花。有台阶通往顶部，视野开阔。
我也很喜欢在外堤岸散步。从那里可以俯瞰护城河，河里有鸭子、鹅、芦苇和野生鸢尾花，景色十分宜人。
我在那里总共待了大约一个小时。
