Came here this Saturday to see the cascade of poppies. Beautiful to see from a distance and close up! Hours of work has gone into the making of these poppies and please go see before they go!! You won’t be disappointed! Highly recommend 😁

11 years ago we stood proudly on another Remembrance Sunday as Joe was 1 of 4 cadets who were on sentry duty at Hertford Cenotaph. This was partly because serving armed forces personnel and reserves were involved in combat overseas. Today 3 of 4 Masseys attended the moving tribute, as we do each year. To mark the Centenary of the end of WW1, Hertford Castle has a cascade of hand crafted poppies. #mayweneverforget. Proud to be a resident and this iconic moment marked brilliantly.

I've visited many times over the last 50 years, and the park and castle have been well looked after over this time. Theres a little piece of history here. Its worth visiting!

Great place to walk and see a few historic items in the grounds of the castle. Plenty of areas to sit and enjoy the peaceful surroundings. A couple of good pubs within a few mins walk.

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.
