Totnes Castle

Aimed primarily at family groups, this series of packs is also intended as a useful resource for teachers planning site visits. Each one contains two activity cards which encourage observational skills, and a wallchart with practical ideas to use in the classroom. This pack focuses on Totnes Castle in Devon, an excellent example of Norman motte-and-bailey defences. The activity cards form two trails about the castle and life as a Saxon or Norman during the Conquest. The wallchart contains ideas for making chainmail and an heraldic shield.
