Periwinkle
Hill is a Norman earthwork motte and bailey fortress, founded by the de Mandeville
family. The castle is now part of a corn field and the ploughing is making the
site and its layout very hard to observe. 3 miles west is Therfield
Castle and 4 miles south-east is Anstey
Castle.
Periwinkle Hill is located in the village centre, off Royston Road. 17 miles south-west of Cambridge, on the M11-A10.
The site is visible from the public footpath, which runs past the castle from Royston Road to the High Street.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
