From the bridge over the moat, watch out for the drop into the water - hence the fence ! Walk through under the archway and that brings you out into the "Inner Court" of Caister Castle. Note the thick walls, brick-faced with stone quoins. The latter were largely imported from Caen, Normandy.

Looking eastwards from the site of the State Apartments [Inner Court] to the remains of the Outer Court's curtain wall. Just this side of the geese is a dip in the ground, this marks the site of the moat that separated the two "Courts".

This small flock of geese were patrolling the grassed areas, something that they do regularly [judging by the frequently encountered droppings], as I watched them moving about I noticed that there was always at least one bird watching rather than eating ... . That's the ruins of the wall surrounding the outer court behind them, and the dip in front marks the line of the moat that separated the outer and inner courts.
