Nether Stowey Castle

Nether Stowey Castle is a fascinating monument from the Norman period, built in the late 11th or early 12th century by the Norman Lord Alfred d'Epaignes.

The motte-and-bailey castle, with its square defensive tower, offers unforgettable views of the surrounding Somerset countryside. Its strategic location on a 119-meter-high hill made it a key defensive point in Norman times.

Today you can admire the remains of the stone tower's foundations and enjoy the rich flora and fauna. In spring, the castle hill is covered with primroses and bluebells, creating a picturesque landscape perfect for history and nature lovers.
