More about this scene
A prominent Norman castle mound, the remains of the town walls, including Prince Rupert's Gateway, the castle hall and St Mary de Castro church form the finest historic enclave in the city. The Gateway, seen here from the Newarkes, was ruined around 1832, having survived the siege of the town by Prince Rupert and King Charles I in 1645. The group is of considerable beauty, and no visitor should fail to perambulate and absorb the whole of this amazingly compact historic group of buildings and earthworks.
