Pevensey Castle’s impressive ruins stand on what was once a peninsula
projecting from the Sussex coast. This naturally defensible site, first
fortified by the Romans, was most famously the place where the Norman
Conquest of England began, when William the Conqueror landed there on 28
September 1066. He built temporary defences at Pevensey, probably
within the Roman fort, and later a great medieval castle
developed inside its walls.
