What is recorded here
Berkeley Castle from the gardens is a castle, fort or tower in Stroud, England. Perhaps the gardens hold more life than the stone walls because plants breathe while rocks wait. Maybe a person walked that green line at dusk and heard the castle answer in leaves. Imagine the guard tower watching the gardener instead of the gardener watching the tower.

Berkeley Castle was built by the de Berkeley family in the 12th century and is historically important as the site of the execution of King David II of Scotland in 1329 and for its role in the suppression of the 1327 rebellion against Edward III. It remains a significant example of medieval military architecture.
