Tonbridge Castle

Tonbridge Castle is an impressive Norman motte-and-bailey castle, built after the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Its most striking feature is the massive entrance gate, a near-perfect example of medieval defensive architecture.

As you tour the castle, you can discover fascinating elements of medieval life - from the huge fireplace to the mysterious gunpits in the walls. An interactive exhibition with an audiovisual presentation allows you to travel back in time and experience history for yourself.

On sunny days, climb to the roof for a scenic view of Tonbridge.
