Reach Appreciation Week - Day 5: Castles & Locations

Highgarden is located on a broad verdant hill overlooking the Mander. The castle is surrounded by three rings of white stone whose crenellated curtain walls increase in height. Between the outer and middle walls is a famous briar labyrinth which serves to entertain as well as slow invaders. The oldest towers, squat and square, date from the Age of Heroes. Newer towers are tall and slender, round fortifications dating from after the coming of the Andals.

The Three Singers are the three weirwood trees located in the godswood of Highgarden. They are large, ancient, and graceful, and have grown so entangled over time that they look like one single tree, albeit with three trunks. Located beneath the three weirwood trees is a pool.

According to legend, Garth Greenhand planted the Three Singers.
