Pevensey Castle
Latest Reviews
Most famous locally for its role at the time of the Norman invasion, but has a richer history than just that. Very interesting, take time to visit the exhibition room. The views from the tower are fantastic. Well worth a visit. Allow a couple of hours if you like to fully explore & read every piece of info.

Brilliant area to visit for 1066 history, the castle sits in a lovely position with other interesting churches and buildings nearby as well as lots of lovely places for lunch !

What an amazing place, the history of this site is readily available online so I won't bore you with that part.
I will tell you this is a sight to be seen, the castle has been preserved very well, you will enjoy every part of it, it's perfect for anybody, not expensive to gain entry, and parking is very good.
A very enjoyable afternoon can be spent here.

Really enjoyed visiting this ruined castle. Quite a few things to see. Nice car park (only £2 for the day) probably better value of you are already a member but well worth a visit .

An hours worth of adventure for the kids. A few towers to explore.

Due to the antiquity of the site, and the fact that it was unused essentially since the late-Tudor times there is understandably little of the castle left at Pevensey. There are the outer walls (free to enter) and the ruins of the Keep (maintained by English Heritage and entry fee charged).
Despite this, it is an incredibly atmospheric site - all the more so when you know even a little of the remarkable and pivotal role that events here had on English history. Definitely worth visiting, and an easy way to happily spend a summer afternoon.

An English Heritage site in the heart of historic Pevensey. Entrance to site is free, but an extra charge to gain access to the keep buildings.

The Roman walls are impressive and free to view, but the interior of the actual Castle is a let down and over priced for what is there.

Great castle, great for photos. Staff were very friendly and informative. Very interesting history. Whilst you can walk freely around the Roman part of the castle you have to pay to get into the rest of the castle but it's worth it.

Lots about the castle through the ages. Audio guide available but information plaques everywhere. Great grounds with the 1066 walk nearby. A trip to Castle tea room a must with its 1930s design

This castle is a beautiful and historic ruin. It is easy to get to, and since the site is not very large, it is easy to get around and see everything there is to see.

Audio tours for everyone, special ones for the children. We had a nice time but if the weather is not so good it would be a bit cold and wet!

This makes a nice afternoon walking around the ruins of the old castle then wonder into the village to the pub, perfect
