Where the roseroad from King's Landing to Highgarden crosses the Mander, a long stone bridge and the castle of Bitterbridge control the traffic. Armies moving through the northern Reach must use it or take a long detour.
House Caswell holds the castle and the town beside it. Tournaments and musters have often been held on the wide meadows nearby, since the ground is flat and the roads good in every direction.
