Dartmouth Castle
Dartmouth was a thriving port from the 12th century, with a beautiful estuary of river darts. When the Centennial War made legitimate trade difficult, the residents became piracy to increase their profits. The unfortunate target was a port across the channel. In 1404, Bretons landed forcibly and tried to revenge the town, but the inhabitants brought a great loss to themselves. According to French sources, the second attempt was more successful. Dartmouth Castle is actually located southeast of the town, at the point where the estuary narrows.
The fortress first rose here about 1388, in response to the threat of aggression from France. It is an interesting example as an early example of a fort built by the authority of a local government, built by the mayor, John-Horley's instigation, and in contrast to private private castles, it was a simple affair, round town Cut the land approach to the headland consisting of and curtains. On the hilltop overlooking the defense, you can see tall curtains and broken towers. From the point of view of today's primitive artillery, it is difficult to see which ships this fortress interfered with. Also, higher from a higher point of view. Perhaps for these reasons, it was discontinued soon.
Today, the tower, which forms the focal point of the castle, is crowned by the rock at the end of the fort. It looks like two connected towers. In fact, the original design is for an independent oval tower, with the most noticeable square being a retrofit, but there is no internal division between the two. Provided a degree of flexibility for the cannon fire that was not known until now. They are lying in the rockcut basement.
Coff Castle
Corfe Castle, halfway between Wareham and Swanage, is one of the most dramatic British ruins. It stands on an isolated hill that forms part of the Purbeck range, towering over a picturesque village of the same name. The late Saxon kings had a palace here, outside the gate where Edward Martyr was killed in a family coup placing Ethelred Unready to the throne
This site allowed two Baileys of uneven size adjacent to the steep top to form a natural motto. The ring work, known as the Ring, a quarter mile to the southwest, is probably the siege Fort of Matilda. Edward II was taken prisoner here for some time between his abdication and murder. After that, the castle was rarely visited by royal owners and collapsed.
The wonders of the Corfu Castle are the way the mason was held together, despite the most decisive attempt to blow it up. There are also many hills of gdp, which are bowed overseas by walls and towers. The approach from the village is through a round adjacent tower and a wide outside gate. This is the only contribution to the castle of Edward-I.
It leads to a large outer Bailey, a semi-round fortress lined by the half-round fortress closely spaced in the most vulnerable southwest of the terrain. Bailey divided into two parts during the slite, despite rising to another round towering gatehouse, still impressive structure. The stairs from the gate point the thickness of the wing wall upwards towards the top of the tower. Otherwise, the route to the top involves passing West Bailey surrounded by King John. The wall converges to a western point protected by the octagonal pigbant tower destroyed on its foundation.
