Bodiam Castle
A battlemented castle rises as if from the pages of a fairy tale.
The setting could hardly be more spectacular. As the path from the car park crests a slight rise the moat suddenly comes intro view, ringing a fortress that looks at first glance as though the centuries have lift unsullied the work of the medieval castle architect in its most perfect from.
With its intact corner towers, battlemented gates and high ramparts pierced by arrow slits, Bodiam appears to be quite capable of giving a good account of itself if invaders approaching along the valley of the River Rother chose to attack it tomorrow. In fact, its 14th - century builder, Sir Edward Dalyngrigge, never had to face the feared French marauders, and lived secure in grand style behind his imposing walls.
Once across the moat, the apparent solidity of Bodiam castle proves to be an illusion. The interiorwas reduced to a shell during the Civil War, although the layout of Dalyngrigge´s great hall, chapel, kitchen and living quarters can still be traced. Spiral staircases climb to the battlements for a bird´s - eye view of the castle, its moat and the surrounding green countryside.
