Forgotten History
Canterbury Castle
Canterbury, United Kingdom
Canterbury Castle is a ruined Norman castle in Canterbury, Kent, England (grid reference TR14545743). It is a five-minute walk from Canterbury East Station and the main bus station around City Wall. Canterbury Castle was one of the three original Royal castles of Kent (the other two being Rochester Castle and Dover Castle). They were built soon after the Battle of Hastings, on the main Roman road from Dover to London. This was the route taken by William the Conqueror in October 1066; the castles were probably built to guard this important road.
