Hadleigh Castle and Country Park is set in the romantic ruins of a royal castle overlooking the Essex marshes.
Hadleigh was begun in about 1215 by Hubert de Burgh, but extensively refortified by Edward III during the Hundred Years War, becoming a favourite residence of the ageing king.
The barbican and two striking drum towers - one later used by Georgian revenue men looking out for smugglers - are part of his substantial building works during the 1360s.
