Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Bolebec Castle, Moat and Spring The OS maps are a little schizophrenic as to which side of the road Bolebec Castle was situated - though probably it spread over both named sites. On the opposite side is 261792 which was clearly a castle mound. On this side there is this curious circular wooded enclosure. It contains a small pool which can be glimpsed if you get closer (see 261798), and according to the modern maps there is a spring here. On the 1940s map this is given as an ancient moat however. Whatever its antecedents however it was a quite remarkably atmospheric place, perhaps magnified by the swirling mist on my visit.
[Edit] Information from the link below suggests that this pond is known as Weir Pond and is indeed part of the old moat of the castle. More information about Bolebec Castle here http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.asp?compid=42596#s2 |
