Mountfitchet Castle
Review by Beccy

A reenactment on an event day

Mountfitchet Castle is a unique time capsule. With its commanding position overlooking the Stort Valley, Mountfitchet Castle is situated on its original site which is steeped in history. Formerly an Iron Age hill fort, this historic site was also a Roman signals fort and later a Saxon and Viking settlement before being attacked in 1066 by the army William the Conqueror who built a wooden motte and bailey castle here.

Comments: "The Dinosaur and Toy sections were brilliant with the kids. There was even Star Wars memorabilia in there I've been wanting for years. Very jealous."

"The castle was fantastic. It was so easy to step back and think of it under all its different periods of rule. I wish I could have been there to witness it all. I had to make do with looking for relics instead."
