Ludgershall Castle: defensive banks and ditch (2)
The castle ruins (glimpsed between the trees on the right) are surrounded by a complex of banks and ditches - all made necessary by the low-lying situation, lacking natural defensive features.
The banks are well overgrown, but (by mowing) a path is kept open along this ditch to the south-east of the ruins. In early June the air was heavy with the peppery pollen of cow parsley.

This shows what remains of the walls of the castle. When the castle fell into disuse the local population took the stone for their own building projects.
