Welcome to Castle Rising

Castle Rising is a small village located in the county of Norfolk, England. The village is famous for its magnificent castle, which was built in the 12th century by William d'Aubigny, the first Earl of Arundel. The castle is one of the most well-preserved and impressive examples of Norman architecture in the country. It is surrounded by a moat and has a keep, a great hall, and a chapel. The castle was used as a royal residence by Queen Isabella, the wife of Edward II, in the 14th century.

Apart from the castle, Castle Rising has several other attractions that are worth visiting. The village has a beautiful church, St. Lawrence's Church, which dates back to the 12th century. The church has a Norman doorway and a 14th-century font. The village also has a windmill, which was built in the 19th century and is now a museum. The windmill is one of the few remaining windmills in Norfolk and is a popular tourist attraction.

Castle Rising is a charming village that is steeped in history. The village has a rich heritage and is a great place to visit for anyone interested in history and architecture. The castle is the main attraction, but the village has much more to offer, including its beautiful church and windmill. Castle Rising is a must-visit destination for anyone visiting Norfolk.
