Most often designed upon windy peaks, castles were fundamental constructs that allowed their occupants to spend time and space to offensive and defensive schemes, while monasteries were rambling stone buildings commonly placed in only the most fecund, extensive valleys. The calm practice of gardening was not viable in these dreary bastions. Berkeley Castle is possibly the most complete model in existence nowadays of the early Anglo-Norman style of architecture.
