About

Berkhamsted Castle ward encompasses the historic core of the town, centred on the ruins of the 11th-century motte-and-bailey castle itself. The area includes the castle grounds, the adjacent canal, and the surrounding residential streets that radiate from the High Street. The Grand Union Canal runs along the ward's western edge, with the castle earthworks providing a distinct topographical feature amidst the urban layout.

The ward is primarily residential, with a mix of housing from various periods situated on the slopes around the castle site. Local commerce is focused along the High Street, which serves as the main thoroughfare. The preserved castle moat and ramparts form a significant green space, offering views over the town and the Chess Valley, directly linking the area's modern function to its Norman origins.
