Canterbury Castle - western corner

As Canterbury Castle is aligned at roughly 45° to the cardinal points of the compass each corner is effectively at one of these, this being the western corner of the castle as viewed from its well-tended grounds. In most towns, this ancient monument dating from the C11th would be a fairly major attraction, but in Canterbury with its host of historic buildings it is tucked away in a corner of the town and really not much visited. The town has made the effort to provide plenty of informative boards for it though, and there is a "tactile model" too. See shared description below:
