NOTES: Located on a hilltop in the city centre on the site of three successive Roman forts, this castle dates from 1090. Much of its current appearance is due to remodelling of the eighteenth century and restoration of the nineteenth century. It has been used as a court since 1800 and a section is used as a modern prison administered by the Home Office.
