Farnham Castle Keep

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

Motte and bailey castle built in the 12th century. Farnham was built by Bishop Henry de Blois in 1138, and served as the seat of the powerful Bishops of Winchester. Destroyed by Henry II in 1155, it was rebuilt in the late 12th century, only to be dismantle on the orders of Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War. Visitors can see the imposing towers, residential quarters, and two medieval chapels within the castle grounds.
