Bodiam Castle

A legendary monument of history and architecture, representing a rare breed of English "residential castles", Bodiam Castle is located in Sussex by the River Rother, which is almost on the very border with neighboring Kent.

Bodiam is one of the last true locks that combine the functions of protection and comfortable living. Powerful fortifications were organically intertwined with wealth, importance and good taste of the owner. This is one of the most picturesque castles in all of Britain. It was built in the very heart of the country - East Sussex county back in 1066, to protect against French raids. Its spiral staircases, battlements, windows and towers date back to the 14th century. Particularly impressive is the castle's wide drawbridge, which stretches across the surrounding moat. This castle is like a fairy tale. Real knights used to walk here and people of royal blood lived here. This is a place where you can relive your childhood memories from books about romantic adventures of the Middle Ages.
