"Next to the faint vestiges of Rougemont Castle is a park along the stronghold’s 950-year-old ditch defences. The castle was built on the northern walls of the Roman city in 1068 during the Norman Conquest. Later it was mentioned in Shakespeare’s Richard III, and the last people in England to be executed for witchcraft were tried at this building in 1682. The largest fragment is the square early-Norman gatehouse. The park is bounded to the northwest by a piece of the city wall, and beyond this you’ll come to Northernay Gardens. First designed in 1612 as a pleasure walk for the people of the city, Northernay Gardens is the oldest public open space in England."
