Carisbrooke Castle: Entry Ticket
About this experience
Surrounded by England's green and pleasant landscape, Carisbrooke Castle is a must-visit landmark on the Isle of Wight.
Perched on a steep motte at the heart of the island, the medieval castle has an eventful past. Through the centuries it's been a besieged fortress, an idyllic royal summer residence, and even a prison for the overthrown Charles I.
There are stellar views to be had from the castle walls, and visitors can also meet the famous Carisbrooke donkeys. Another highlight is Charles' bowling green, where the imprisoned Stuart king would cut loose prior to his beheading in 1649.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
