WALMER CASTLE

Photos Charles Taylor

Built by Henry VIII in the 1539 and smaller in size than Deal Castle. The central circular keep is surrounded by only three bastions and a deep dry moat. It has been converted into stately home used since 1708 as the residence of the Lord Warden of the Cinque Ports.

English Heritage open all year (Nov to March Wed - Sun, Jan & Feb weekend only) except when the Lord Warden is in residence.
