Goodrich Castle
Goodrich Castle is an English Heritage property. Its name was taken from Godric, who built the first structure here in the beginning of the 12th century. The grey sandstone keep is from the mid 12th century and the red sandstone buildings are from the 13th century.
The castle once belonged to the Earls of Pembroke, and later to the Talbots (Earls of Shrewsbury). During the Civil War the castle was held by the Royalists and the Parliamentarians. Wordsworth's "We Are Seven' was inspired by a little girl he met here in 1793.
