Carisbrooke is 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. The king's bedchamber has been preserved, as has the window through which he attempted to escape.

Yarmouth Castle was built by Henry VIII to guard the entry to Yarmouth's port from the Solent. Finished in 1547, this was the last castle to be built in Henry's ambitious system of coastal defences and the first to adopt the new 'arrowhead' artillery bastion style.
