Title

View from south

Description

Close-up of the castle, including “Raleigh's window,” from the south. Note (to the right) the arrow slit in the staircase/garderobe tower on the same level as the window. Defense was paramount in the original castle design. The loop also serves as one of two windows for the privy.
