Snodhill Castle, Norman castle in Peterchurch, England.
The ten-acre castle grounds feature a motte and bailey layout with a central keep overlooking the medieval deer park leading to Vagar Hill.
Founded before 1136 by a lieutenant of William the Conqueror, the castle underwent several construction phases during the Chandos family's 400-year ownership.
The castle grounds maintain traditional annual community picnics, continuing a practice documented by Kilvert in 1871 within the castle bailey.
The castle remains open year-round without admission fees, though visitors should note that certain areas may be restricted due to archaeological work.
Following its rescue from collapse in 2017, the castle received grants exceeding £500,000 for restoration, research, and implementation of public access plans.
