The majestic ruins have been an important stronghold since the time of William the Conqueror. In 1646, following a lengthy siege, Parliamentarian forces destroyed the building, leaving the ruins we see today. Many fine Norman and early English features remain. Learn more about the fascinating lives of the castle’s past residents at the Castle View Visitor Centre, a short walk from the castle. Visit the National Trust shop and tea room at the castle entrance.
