RMKTT7M4–Goodrich Castle is a medieval Norman castle situated to the north of the village of Goodrich in Herefordshire, England, controlling a key location between Monmouth and Ross-on-Wye. The 12th century the original castle was replaced with a stone keep, and was then expanded significantly during the late 13th century into a concentric structure combining luxurious living quarters with extensive defences. The success of Goodrich's design influenced many other constructions across England over the following years.

RM2DGBPBE–A 19th Century view of Goodrich Castle, Herefordshire, England. Built in the 12th century with a stone keep, it was expanded during the late 13th century to combine luxurious living quarters with extensive defences. Held first by Parliamentary and then Royalist forces in the English Civil War of the 1640s, it was finally besieged by Colonel John Birch in 1646 with the help of the huge 'Roaring Meg' mortar, resulting in the subsequent demolition of the castle. In the 18th century, the castle became the subject of paintings and poems, providing inspiration for Wordsworth's 'We are Seven'.
