Hedingham Castle Keep: ”Possibly the last Dungeon in level two, team, but Ben’s going to have to cross a lot of open ground to get there.” – Treguard.

Below is the Great Banqueting Hall at Hedingham Castle, which is supported by the largest Norman arch in Europe. This room featured many times in series 5, often with Hordriss on the scene, once with Brother Mace and his chess set, and once with Motley trapped in a giant playing card. This room also appeared once in series 7, with Simon and his level two spyglass. As you can see, the large door is actually a large fireplace.

Here is a very familiar corridor, down which Catherine walked towards the end of the first episode of series 5. It is part of the Minstrels’ Gallery above the Great Banqueting Hall.
