Hinckley moat

Back in the day, 11th Century, Hinckley had a motte and bailey castle, a massive bank and ditch made from earth and timber. The castle was demolished in 1153.
The steep sides of the mound can still be seen and is now the site of the War Memorial. Excavations in 1976 discovered the moat which has just recently undergone a massive clean up and dredging. The ducks seem happy with it now
