Hedingham Castle

Hedingham Castle is a remarkable example of Norman Castle architecture with a history dating back 900 years located on the Suffolk-Essex border. Constructed by the first Earl of Oxford, Aubrey de Vere, around 1140, the well-preserved Norman keep is one of the best of its kind in the country. Aubrey was a prominent Norman nobleman who was granted the land by William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.

Visitors can enjoy the Norman Keep, the historic gardens and the Keep Tearoom. Hedingham Castle also hosts many events throughout the year and offers holiday cottage rentals, corporate and private hire, wedding venue or film location!
