Description

Pevensey Castle is a fascinating monument, combining Roman and Norman heritage in one place. Built on the foundations of a 4th century Roman fort, this medieval fortress was the site of William the Conqueror's landing in 1066, beginning the Norman reign in England.

The surviving Roman walls are among the best preserved in Britain, and the 12th century Norman tower and gatehouse are an impressive testament to its turbulent history.

As you explore the castle, you'll discover medieval dungeons and learn about fascinating events, including the imprisonment of King John Without Earth. The perfect place for history and architecture lovers!
