Carisbrooke Castle is a romantic structure that tells the history of the Isle of Wight.
The castle is home to a museum that holds almost 30,000 items connected with the history of the Isle of Wight, as well as a king’s prison, an Elizabethan artillery, and a beautiful Edwardian garden.
On the Norman Keep and Wall Walk, visitors can climb the ancient stone steps to the round, moss-covered tower, where they can enjoy views of the entire island from the castle’s keep. Down by the castle well, guests can watch the resident castle donkeys demonstrate how they draw water from the well with a 16th-century wheel.
