一座几乎完整的14世纪护城河城堡的外观。 作为英国最浪漫和风景如画的城堡之一,博迪亚姆是由国王爱德华三世的前骑士爱德华-达林格爵士于1385年建造的,据说是为了在百年战争期间抵御法国的入侵。

在宽阔的护城河的环绕下,现在进入城堡的通道是一座长桥,它横跨一个原始的八角形石质平台或基座,这是一个防御结构的全部遗迹。 桥继续延伸到前外城墙的平台,最后到达门楼的雄伟主入口。 最初,桥是倾斜的,横跨护城河,让任何攻击者暴露和当他们试图进入城堡时,容易受到导弹的攻击。 四角形城堡所处的岛屿是人造的。 挖掘发现了进一步的防御性水景和池塘的遗址,这些水景和池塘为护城河提供了水源。

在内部,北面的门楼为驻军提供住宿,东北和东面的塔楼之间有一个小教堂,而大厅、太阳能和其他为爱德华-达林格爵士的家人和家臣提供的住宿则在南面。 有趣的特征包括钥匙孔炮口,表明在城堡的防御中使用了手持大炮。 有四个圆形的它的设计、形状和结构使博迪亚姆城堡成为中世纪强势防御城堡的典范,其内部结构足以表明它在防御和住宿方面都是最先进的建筑。

城堡可能在都铎时代就被遗弃了。 它经历了不同的主人,直到被议会支持者纳撒尼尔-鲍威尔买下,他负责将建筑部分拆除。 随着18世纪末和19世纪初对浪漫废墟的热情开始增长,博迪亚姆城堡成为喜欢在废墟中沉思漫步的游客的热门地点。博迪亚姆的20世纪主人科宗勋爵并没有让它衰败,而是制定了一个修复和巩固计划。 博迪亚姆风景如画,而且引人入胜的景观和防御从一开始就成为其计划的一部分,这意味着它继续吸引着公众和媒体的兴趣。 因此,博迪亚姆城堡扮演一个短暂但令人印象深刻的角色就不足为奇了。在《巨蟒与圣杯》中担任 "城堡沼泽 "的外景,并在《神秘博士》中担任主角。
