castle grounds
Manor's outdoor territory
The castle grounds are the land surrounding a castle, including gardens, lawns, courtyards, and other outdoor areas within the estate's boundaries.
The term appears in historical contexts and tourism: Visitors can stroll the castle grounds before the tour begins.
In fantasy settings, castle grounds often serve as locations for duels, escapes, or secret meetings.
