Carisbrooke Castle

Carisbrooke Castle is best known as the place where King Charles I was imprisoned. The castle has lived through more than 800 years of service, including resisting a siege by the French and seeing off the Spanish Armada. Visitors can play bowls on the very green Charles used, dress up as Norman soldiers or Civil War troopers and meet the castle's famous donkeys!
