Plan and side view of a Medieval castle - Multi-page image (Large Print)

Synopsis

These images show two different views of a medieval Castle. There is also a key on the first page. There is a locator dot shown on each page, which will be at the top left of the page when the image is the right way up. Plan view of a medieval castle: The plan is on the right side of the page and a key explaining the textures used on the two images of a medieval castle on the left of the page. The castle is surrounded by a moat full of water. The drawbridge which gives access to the castle across the moat is in the top centre of the image. Immediately down from the bridge, to the left and right are wall posts marking the entry point through the outer wall. Doors or gates would block the entrance to the castle if it was being attacked. The area all around the castle, between the castle wall and the outer wall is known as the outer ward. Down from the wall posts is the castle gatehouse which gives access to the inside of the castle - the inner ward. The arch which joins the two halves of the gatehouse is not shown. Big heavy doors and a portcullis would block the entrance to the castle if it was being attacked. To the right of the gatehouse is a room built into the castle wall. To the right of this is one of the round corner towers. Down from this is one of the internal wooden buildings, the granary and store room. Near the bottom left corner of this building is a small round well. There is another round corner tower in the bottom right corner of the castle. To the left of this there is another internal wooden building - the kitchen. To the left and adjoining the kitchen is the Great Hall with stone walls. To the left of the hall is a third round corner tower. Up from this tower is the chapel and then a small stable block. Up from here is the fourth and last round corner tower. Right from this is the gatehouse again. Side view of a medieval castle: This is a view of the front of the castle surrounded by an image border. In the bottom left corner is a section through the castle moat showing it is full of water. Up and to the right is the outer wall which stretches across the page past the entrance to the right side of the castle, where there is another part of the moat which is also filled with water. In the middle of the outer wall there are two wall posts on either side of the entrance. Behind the outer wall is the main castle wall which has defensive crenellations (battlements) at the top. On the left is one of the round corner towers. It has five windows. To the right of the tower is a short section of castle wall with two windows and then the gatehouse with two windows and the entrance arch. To the right of the gatehouse is a short section of castle wall and then another round corner tower with six windows.
