Rochester Castle ( 207.34 miles away)
Member Review : 
Visitor Rating : 
Strategically placed astride the London Road, guarding an important crossing of the River Medway, this imposing fortress has a complex history of destruction and rebuilding. Its mighty Norman tower-keep of Kentish ragstone was built c. 1127 by William of Corbeil, Archbishop of Canterbury, with the encouragement of Henry I. Consisting of three floors above a basement, it still stands 113 feet high. Attached is a tall protruding forebuilding, with its own set of defences to pass through before... [more]

Upnor Castle ( 207.50 miles away)

Visitor Rating :
Set in tranquil grounds adjoining a riverside village, this rare example of an Elizabethan artillery fort was begun in 1559 and redeveloped in 1599-1601, to protect warships near the new Chatham dockyards. It entirely failed to do so in 1667, when the Dutch sailed past it to burn or capture the English fleet at anchor. [more]

Deal Castle ( 247.44 miles away)
Member Review :
Visitor Rating :
Deal Castle is one of the finest Tudor artillery castles in England. It is among the earliest and most elaborate of a chain of coastal forts, which also includes Calshot, Camber, Walmer and Pendennis Castles.
