I came across this castle a couple of years ago when walking with the Ramblers. The remains are quite impressive including the keep and the circular moat. It is well worth a visit. The castle was built in 1176 by William d’Albini, a Norman Baron and supporter of William The Conqueror. D’Albini also built Castle Rising and he built a new town to service his new castle but what was it called and how did this town become wealthy? To find out more, please access the following link:
