PEVENSEY CASTLE | This FORTRESS served as a Staging Ground for the BATTLE OF HASTINGS | Walking Tour

Pevensey Castle, nestled on the South-Eastern coast of England, holds a rich history that spans over a millennium. Originally built by the Romans in the 4th century, this historic fortress played a crucial role in the defence against Saxon raids. The castle's strategic location, surrounded by water during high tide, made it an ideal stronghold to safeguard against invaders.

In 1066, Pevensey Castle became a pivotal site during the Norman Conquest of England. William the Conqueror chose the castle as his landing point, and it served as the staging ground for the Norman forces before the famous Battle of Hastings. Over the centuries, the castle underwent various modifications, reflecting the changing needs and architectural styles of each era.

During the medieval period, Pevensey Castle continued to play a significant role, witnessing various conflicts and serving as a royal residence. Its sturdy walls and towers withstood the test of time, becoming a symbol of resilience and endurance.
