Mountfitchet Castle is a unique time capsule. With its commanding position overlooking the Stort Valley in Stansted, Essex the Castle is situated on its original site which is steeped in history. Formerly an Iron Age hill fort, this historic site was also a Roman signals fort and later a Saxon and Viking settlement before being attacked in 1066 by William the Conqueror who built a wooden Motte and

Bailey castle here. Mountfitchet Castle was also briefly used by the Royalist Army to King Charles in the English Civil War (17th C).

A living history, hands-on and interactive experience. Come and mingle with the animals that roam freely throughout the castle grounds and listen out for the echoes of long-forgotten voices…………..

We hope you all still had a great time albeit a little bit soggy! 😊

And a little appreciation for our beautiful little Sparrow being very curious of the camera 😍
