Arundel
Built in the 11th century overlooking the river Arun and the stunning Sussex countryside is this remarkable castle, seat of the Dukes of Norfolk. The castle was fully restored in the 18th Century and hosts a wide variety of events throughout the year. Medieval encampments give visitors a chance to feel what it was like to live in that period of history by learning about the music, costumes and sports of the time. A highlight of the summer months is watching iconic Shakesphear an drama in the grounds of this atmospheric castle.

Hastings

This castle may be in ruins, but it is still a fascinating place to experience history. Overlooking the English Channel, visitors can imagine ancient battels against ‘William the Conqueror’. A film about the events of the best-known year in English history, ‘The 1066 story’ plays on a loop in a mini cinema in the grounds. There are several picnic areas in the grounds and close by.

Rye

The castle at Rye was built in the 13th century and has been used as a prison at different times in its history. Part of the castle now houses a museum, displaying medieval pottery and artefacts, antique toys and games, and items showcasing the area’s history of sailing.

Herstmonceux

This castle is a late example of a castle, not built until the mid-15th century. By this time, the owners of castles were less concerned with defence and more concerned with comfort and appearance. There are walking trails through the grounds and visitors can interact with birds of prey, such as falcons, owls and hawks.

Knepp

This castle has been owned by the same family for over 220 years. The family has been rewilding the land since 2001. Introducing cattle and deer and restoring natural water courses, they have encouraged an increase in wildlife, including several rare species. Visitors can choose from a range of guided safaris, including bats and moths, butterflies and wild horses. There are also shepherd’s huts and a campsite in the grounds for those who wish to stay the night.

Bodiam

Unlike most other castles, the entire castle was built at the same time, so has a consistent architectural style. It is most famous for its wide moat which encircles the castle. While the interior is now in ruins, the outer structure remains. Visitors can visit the well-stocked gift shop and have a drink and snack at the tearoom.
