Great welcome -although you walk quite a way around the castle to the entrance . We took our 5 year old granddaughter but my husband used the audio guide and relayed lots of interesting ( and sometimes quirky) information to us . It really gives a picture of what life in the Bailey would have been like . The exhibition is small but explains a lot . Well worth a visit especially if you are English heritage members .

This is an all outdoor castle, so plan carefully when you will visit. The dungeon in particular today had 3 inches of water in it, so don’t let any children go and explore down there unsupervised! An interesting glimpse into history for a few hours and worth pairing up with a trip to nearby Battle Abbey the same day.

Lovely castle more to see than we thought bring a packed lunch as no cafe and also no toilets there are public toilets in the car park in the village which are clean. Museum to visit in the village which was the village Jail very interesting and free although check opening times as limited. The castle has an audio guide which is helpful a good day out and worth a visit

Lovely walk around the castle walls. Easy 5 minute walk from the train station to Pevensey and through to Westham. Had a nice lunch at the Royal Oak in the garden. Then walked round the village to see the Court house and St Mary's Church. Took the dog, he loved it. :)

We visited in July 2023, but the options for the time of year do not allow entering before September 2023 for some reason. The castle is great to look at from a historical aspect. Not very big, but an interesting visit all the same. We did not pay the £25 that was being asked to enter the main complex as we did not think it was worth it, but it did not detract from a nice visit. We were passing through, so it made a nice break. Worth a look if you are in the area, but in our opinion, not something to make a special trip for.
