Hertford Castle, SG14 1HR. Tel: 01992 584322. The building often
referred to as Hertford Castle is in fact the gatehouse. The
castle itself no longer stands but occupied the enclosed area
behind the gatehouse. For 300 years a Royal Palace stood within
the flint walls having previously been one of a series of castles
built for defence purposes. James I of Scotland was a prisoner
at Hertford Castle, as were the Templars. Queen Elizabeth I spent
much of her childhood at both Hatfield House and Hertford Castle.
Location: In the centre of Hertford.
