One of, if not the largest motte and bailey castles in Bedfordshire. Since I went last year a new country park has opened and you can now gain some access to the castle. Well worth a visit if you are into earthwork castles, it has been cleared and being well maintained.

Cainhoe Castle was a motte and triple bailey castle.Built sometime after the Norman Invasion(1066) By 1374 the castle was in ruins. Great views from the top of the earthwork towards lake.

Good earthwork. Bit isolated out in the field near the major road but good views from climb up the largest and highest bump.

Great example of a mott and Bailey castle. Only the earthworks and moat remain, no walls, and no water. However it is still impressive and gives a very good picture of what it must have looked like. You just need a bit of imagination! My son thought it was awesome when I explained how it was used for defence...
