Hadleigh Castle

Built after 1215 during the reign of Henry III, the castle ruins are an unmissable relic of British history.

With an excellent view of the Essex Marshes, Hadleigh Castle stands as a monument to Essex History. Entry to the castle and its grounds is completely free. While traversal is tricky, for those who can manage, it is definitely a fine spot to visit. 

Mobility Summary

Whilst a worthwhile day out for those who can traverse the uphill paths and uneven ground, it may be a struggle for wheelchair and scooter users to get the full benefit of a trip. Partial access to the grounds is available, although terrain might still be an issue during bad weather.  For those who are not wholly confident on their feet, walking aids are advised.

Things to do:

Information boards are posted around the castle grounds, providing information on the area and the historical context of the castle.

Hadleigh Castle shares a boundary with Hadleigh Country Park. It is best accessed by car.
