Hertford Castle, SG14 1HR. Tel: 01992 584322. The building often
referred to as Hertford Castle is in fact the gatehouse. The

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.

a journey back in time. Knebworth is easily accessible by all
forms of transport from most areas of the UK. www.knebworthhouse.com.
