Castle Rising Castle

Highlight • Castle

Built around 1138 by William d'Aubigny II, Castle Rising is a beautiful ruined medieval fortification that has witnessed centuries of fascinating history: from hosting royals to functioning as a hunting lodge and even housing a mental patient. In the 14th Century, Queen Isabella lived in the castle after she participated in her husband Edward II's murder.

In 1544, the Howard family became guardians of the castle and they remain the current owners today.

You can visit the castle with its surrounding motte and impressive towers daily from 10am - 6pm (April to November) and 10am - 4pm Wednesday to Sunday in winter. Tickets for adults cost £4.50. You can find more information, here: castlerising.co.uk
