Bodiam Castle - Our Day Out

Back in February we visited the beautiful Bodiam Castle, which means that we ticked one of our things off the to do list for this year. Bodiam Castle was built in the 14th century, it is now owned by the National Trust and is open to the public for a tour in its grounds.

The outside of the castle looked very intact but cross the moat via the bridge and enter the door, you'll see a completely different situation. most of the inside is ruins now with doorways leading to nowhere all around you. The towers are still together as are some of the areas in the grounds, we enjoyed trying to work out what the rooms could have been.

One of the towers at the front was open, we decided that we would take a look, this meant climbing a very narrow spiral staircase with step that reached up to Lils knee's, it was hard work but well worth the view from the top. The second area to climb was at the back of the castle which looked over the village of Bodium, the views were stunning.

On the ground area there are loads of little rooms to explore and find with a couple set up for children to try on things or learn something new, there are also a couple of thrones in the area for a good photo opportunity. When leaving the castle and walking back over the bridge you can see some beautiful koi carp swimming around the moat and under your feet.

Bodiam Castle was a fantasic family day out for us and is disabled accessable (My Dad came too) and very child friendly.
