 Hertford Castle, SG14 1HR. Tel: 01992 584322.
The building often referred to as Hertford Castle is in fact
the gatehouse. The castle itself no longer stands but occupied
the enclosed area behind the gatehouse. For 300 years a Royal
Palace stood within the flint walls having previously been one
of a series of castles built for defence purposes. James I of
Scotland was a prisoner at Hertford Castle, as were the Templars.
Queen Elizabeth I spent much of her childhood at both Hatfield
House and Hertford Castle. Location:
2 miles west of Ware in the centre of Hertford. |
