Carisbrooke Castle and Museum

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A striking Norman castle atop a high hill above Newport. It was here that Charles I was imprisoned in 1647 before his final journey to London and death. Charles attempted to escape from the castle, and visitors today can see the narrow window where the unfortunate king became stuck.
Museum: Museum located inside the grounds of Carisbrook Castle, showcasing artefacts relating to the history of the castle, the imprisonment here of Charles I, and island life. Collections include island lace, clothing, footwear, toys, and much more.
