Boasting the most complete Roman walls in Britain, Pevensey Castle has borne witness to many a siege over the centuries. Its strategic location led to the modification of its fortifications as late as WWII.
Built by Henry VIII as part of a chain of defences to protect the south coast of England, Camber Castle protected the Rye anchorage. Construction began in 1539 and incorporated in its design a circular tower that had been built on the spit some 35 years earlier by Sir Edward Guldeford.
