Being the birthplace of Henry VII and idyllically set on the banks of the river estuary, this mighty fortress is steeped in British history. In the film, this is where Will came back from Paris after the tragic accident which turn him from a successful young banker to a depressed dissable man. This is where the love between them sprout.
