SNODHILL
It's not every day that one of the earliest Norman castles in the UK is uncovered, but that's what's happening at Snodhill. This unique structure was rescued from collapse and loss in 2017 and is now being excavated and selectively restored by the Snodhill Castle Preservation Trust. Come and explore the ten acre motte and bailey site (and check out website for frequent expert guided tours). Share our theories as to its origins and purpose. Climb up to the Keep and take in the views of the medieval deer park rising to Vagar Hill above, and the hamlet with its surviving medieval fields below. Picnic in the bailey as Kilvert did in 1871 and support our mission to reclaim the castle from overgrown wreck to magnificent monument.
