Details

Totternhoe Castle overlooks the village of Totternhoe in Bedfordshire, near the town of Dunstable.[4] Built during the Norman period, probably during the years of the Anarchy, it is of a motte-and-bailey design, with two baileys rather than the more usual one.[5] A wide ditch protects three sides of the castle, with the fourth protected by the edge of the chalk hill on which the castle is situated.[6] Template:Sister project
