Donnington Castle - (English Heritage) - Newbury - "The striking twin-towered gatehouse of 14th century Donnington Castle, near Newbury, survives within impressive earthworks. It shows the luxury enjoyed by Sir Richard Abberbury, Donnington's builder, whose private quarters lay within it. Both Henry VIII and Elizabeth I are thought to have stayed here" - "From the car park, the castle is uphill along a fairly steep gravelled path. The castle ruins are based on a grassy area, which is uneven." - www.english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/donnington-castle
