For a castle that has lived through more than 800 years of service, including resisting a siege by the French and seeing off the Spanish Armada, Carisbrooke Castle is wonderfully well preserved. At the heart of the island's history, the castle is where King Charles I was imprisoned. There are all the ingredients here for a great value family day out in the Isle of Wight. Children will love dressing up as Norman soldiers or Civil War troopers, and meeting the castle's famous donkeys, while for the grown-ups, there is a fascinating museum and the Edwardian style Princess Beatrice Garden.
During August the castle is the backdrop to an action-packed events programme. Enjoy Grand Medieval Jousts with knights battling on horseback and tournaments where knight clash in hand-to-hand combat. Kids can also go on a quest around the castle.
