| Carisbrooke Castle, Geoff W Sutton 2017 |
Carisbrooke Castle, like many UK castles, has a long history and was rebuilt more than once. The history includes a place where Charles I was a prisoner. Other Royals were here as well. Much of the history can be learnt at the Museum, a separate entity on the castle grounds.
There's also a chapel honouring veterans and King Charles I.
And you will find demonstrations of a donkey powered treadmill used to raise water from a well. See the video for a brief clip of the donkey at work. A few donkeys are onsite.
The walls are in good enough condition to walk around the castle, including the Norman keep.
