Compact Norman motte-and-bailey keep set on a grassy mound beside the River Tame — ideal for architectural details, dramatic low-angle shots and riverside reflections. Visit at golden hour or blue hour for warm stone tones and moody skies. Weekdays are less crowded; the site is ticketed (small museum) with limited on-site parking—town car parks a short walk away. Some areas involve steps and uneven ground; check opening times and event closures before travel.
