Story · Duffield Castle

You're standing at Duffield Castle, or rather, at what's left of it. Have a look around. You're on a rocky promontory facing the river. An easy spot to defend, and the Normans knew it. See the lines marked out in the grass? Those trace the foundations of a massive stone keep, the great tower at the heart of the castle.
