Strategically sited on a promontory above the town of Hastings are the ruins of the castle, one of the first built by William of Normandy in 1067 after the Battle of Hastings.

Today's visitors can explore the fascinating ruins for themselves and enjoy the panoramic views over the English Channel.

Walk around the ruins of the cloistered chapel, the East Gate and Chapter House. Explore the dungeons carved out of the rock beneath the North Gate, or just relax on the lawns of the Ladies Parlour.
