【推荐3】Shakespeare’s writing shaped our modern language, but how did his plays describe the landscape of 15th- and 16th-century Britain? This guide will take you on a mini tour of the poet’s favoured locations.
Pontefract Castle, Yorkshire
In its prime, Pontefract Castle was one of the most powerful forts (堡垒) in Europe, but its fearful reputation was once so strong that the poet used it to suggest power and terror. In Richard II, Pontefract is the terrible scene of the king’s murder and three men are condemned to death at the castle in Richard III. Now, Pontefract is the perfect destination for a fearful yet fascinating day out.
Sandal Castle, West Yorkshire
First built from wood in the 12th century, by the 13th century Sandal Castle had become an impressive stone forts. In the 15th century, the castle found itself at the centre of a long and bloody battle. It was this conflict that inspired Shakespeare’s Henry VI. The site of the battlefield is now a peaceful farm and all that remains of the once grand castle are broken walls.
Dunsinane Hill, Perthshire
A castle built atop Dunsinane Hill in Scotland is one of the dramatic backdrops to the blood-soaked horror of Shakespeare’s shortest tragedy, Macbeth. Today, the hill has the remains of two forts, one of which is the site on which the real Macbeth suffered a military defeat in 1054.
Forest of Arden, Warwickshire
Situated in Shakespeare’s home county of Warwickshire, Arden was once a heavily wooded area and provides the complex setting for the poet’s pastoral comedy. Visitors can enjoy several picturesque walks around the young forest, which is now home to over a million new trees.
