The Rich History of Bodiam Castle:
Step into Medieval history at Bodiam Castle.
Set in the heart of a historic landscape, 14th-century Bodiam Castle is one of Britain's most picturesque and romantic ancient monuments.
Discover windows where arrows were once fired, a tower that served as a lookout, and ruins that were once walked upon by knights. Once inside Bodiam Castle's ruined walls, there's lots to see and do. You could climb the steep spiral staircases to the top of the towers, take a seat on the dais and observe the great hall or look up at the remains of the iron-clad oak portcullis, thought to be one of the oldest in England.
