Well we have been to Hertford quite a few times but had never noticed their castle. It was only because we used a car park that backed onto the grounds that we even spotted it.
An attractive castle that originally dates back to William the Conqueror times (1066 and all that), we were disheartened to learn that we couldn’t actually gain access. Ok, so we tried the wrong side to get in but the other side is Hertford County Council which threw us completely.
We decided to take a few pics and stroll around the pleasant grounds that surround the castle, it was a warm afternoon and there’s a river with lock and a few different pathways to discover.

This is a good place to go because of the river which has lots of ducks which is good for the kids to feed the ducks

Its amazing to have such an interesting slice of history in the centre of town.
You can do a mini tour and see some original artefacts. There is some re construction of the rooms in the basement. The prison area looked quite chilling.....
Well worth a visit. When we were there they had a craft market in the grounds

Hertford castle is right near town centre . Used today as council offices .They do have open days were you can go inside and see the pictures of all the past Mayors of Herford , the room for weddings.
Spiral staircases lead down to the cellar where you can see the strong room containing valuable items . Prison cell, and a kitchen.
Well worth a visit as are the gardens outside.

I attended the classic car day this morning with my boys age 7 and 11.i didn't know anything about it until this morning and Hertford is only 20 mins away.
The event was free. They had cars, a band and some food places as well as bouncy castles. They all seemed reasonably priced but I was skint.
They had the castle open too. We're not really touristy and as I had the fdig I had to race round with one child while the other dog sat. Downstairs in the basement was awesome. We saw the castle silver. They boys felt a real sword and a big ball with spikes on. They also had a go on the stocks.
A nice day. Enjoyed it. Will go again. The bands were good.

Actually very interesting. We lived in Hertford for 17 years and never visited. Moved abroad and came back to visit friends. Visited the castle and they have a very interesting display.

The grounds of Hertford Castle are lovely. It is great to take a stroll or just sit, relax and watch the world go by. Well worth a visit

Visited the site for the 'rock the castle' event. What a fantastic range of great bands and so well organised. Brilliant.

I walk through with the dog regularly. There are park benches by the river or overlooking a green either at the front or rear of the "Castle" which is actually the Elizabethan gatehouse.

The remains of the castle is the old gatehouse, which is in use as a venue. The grounds are well kept with clever landscaping and little bridges.
It would take about 30 minutes to do a slow tourist paced amble around the circular walk.
