Why is tutbury castle built where it is?

Answer 1

Because, Tutbury castle, is built on a hill, so it makes it hard for the attacker, that is coming for instance war, a trouble, as the wall are immensely high, its impossible to climb, also they can see there attackers from up in Tutbury for miles because of the height, and there is a river near by called the River Dove, this is a river attackers have to cross to get any were near the castle, so the more difficulty it is to reach the castle for war :).
