Compact medieval stronghold with intact curtain walls, high keep and riverside moat — offers dramatic stone textures, crenellations and reflective water leading lines. Visit at golden hour or low tide for warm light and mirror reflections; weekdays and early mornings reduce visitors. English Heritage site with paid entry and limited seasonal hours; roadside parking nearby. Staircases and towers provide elevated compositions and intimate architectural details.
