Surrounding these blocks are 2 rings of walls and towers dating from Mediaeval times. Beneath the castle there are a whole series of underground passages dating from the 13th century. They were improved for defence during the Napoleonic Wars. This property is now in the care of English Heritage (2010). Read official list description.
