Highlights

Step into centuries of English history with an entry ticket to Carisbrooke Castle, a storied stronghold set atop a steep hill in the Isle of Wight’s picturesque countryside. This medieval castle has served as everything from a fortified defence point to a royal summer retreat, and even a prison for King Charles I. Today, its well-preserved ramparts, peaceful courtyards, and sweeping views make it one of the island’s most captivating heritage sites.


Wander along ancient stone walls, explore fascinating museum exhibits, and visit the historic bowling green where the imprisoned monarch once passed his time. Don’t miss the beloved Carisbrooke donkeys, who have been part of the castle’s story for generations. Whether you're a history buff, a family looking for a relaxed day out, or simply someone who enjoys beautiful landscapes paired with rich stories, this castle promises a memorable experience.

  • Historic Castle Exploration: Discover a medieval fortress with centuries of stories, including its role in the imprisonment of King Charles I.
  • Sweeping Countryside Views: Walk the high castle walls for panoramic vistas of the Isle of Wight.
  • Meet the Donkeys: Enjoy a visit with the castle’s famous donkeys, a long-standing tradition.
