For my 'birthday' holiday this year (2024) we visited Herefordshire and visited quite a few places including Goodrich Castle.
Goodrich castle's strategic location made it important for controlling the Welsh Marches, a borderland between England and Wales.
During the 12th century, Goodrich was significantly expanded, particularly under William Marshal, the powerful Earl of Pembroke, and his descendants. Marshal is often credited with fortifying the castle and giving it much of the form seen today.
