The River Cam was first bridged at what is now Magdalene College. The early town settlement relied on nearby Castle Hill as a defensive position. The Normans reinforced this in their famed motte and bailey style. The mound remains to this day, providing a splendid view across the city rooftops, spires and towers, and surrounding countryside. The site was restored by Oliver Cromwell's forces during the English Civil War (1642), and appropriately, at the foot of the mound lies Shire Hall, headquarters of Cambridgeshire County Council.
