Incredible place! Ancient monument, dating back to 298AD. Roman Fort, taken over by invading Normans in 1066. Big skies- lots of space. Totally free of charge access- amazing 👍

Pevensey castle is a piece of history which is well worth a visit. The castle itself is a ruin and whilst it is interesting, the cost to get in is pricey as it takes an hour at most to see. I happily went in as I have English Heritage membership but wouldn’t pay otherwise.

It’s very nice to walk around the outside of the castle without paying entrance.

Dogs are allowed in and there is a very nice dog friendly pub within a few minutes walk called the Smugglers.

Free to walk around the exterior grounds and beside the outer walls. You have to pay a small fee to go into the main part of the castle.

There is more to see than you think once inside with a couple of rooms with info boards in, and two underground sections.

This gem has been on my 'to do list' for a long while..The National Trust manage the Castle, but the Roman Walls are free to roam as a public path runs from east to west..The couple of hours we spent here was amazing and was worth waiting for ..We enjoyed our time there, stepping back in history in such lovely surroundings..Thank you 👍Visited on

Possibly the oldest & best preserved Roman walls in Britain. Originally built in the late 3rd century AD as a Roman coastal defence fortress, back then, it was positioned on a peninsula surrounded by the sea, over time, marsh land surrounding it has silted up making it land locked. The fort was later used by Saxon invaders & later still, by William of Normandy who added extra fortifications to the castle, it was at Pevensey William landed prior to the Battle of Hastings. A fantastic castle/fortress to explore, (kids will love it), big kids too. Managed by English Heritage, booking in advance will save a little money, of course, if you're a member, you enter for free. There is a small shop inside the castle which is also where you pay. Just outside the outer Roman wall at the entrance, you'll find an outstanding cafe/tearoom which I highly recommend as I do this excellent castle. Note, parking next to the castle is pay & display.
