Zahir al-Daoud Hullo!
I hope this is the right place to post this. I am designing a small castle for a story I'm writing. The castle is named Redbridge because it was built beside/with a bridge across a river. Here's the basic idea I was working with:
On the eastshore of the river, a towered gate stands astride the bridge. It is connected by a thirty-foot thick wall to the castle itself. Atop this wall (approx. 80 feet high) is a covered walkway, leading directly into another tower--one of two on either side of the main gate of the castle. Thus, the road across the bridge goes directly by the main gate.
Within the main gate is a rectangular courtyard with a tower at each corner. The courtyard is approximately 300 ft X 175 ft. On the western side of the courtyard is a rectangular tower which serves as the main keep--approximately 200 ft by 175 ft. The corner towers are each two stories in height, with the main keep twice that. Also, the keep reaches past the river's edge.
Does this make sense, do you think? Any questions, suggestions, etc.?
Thanks in advance...
