The castle, also known as Fort Charles, was build by Henry VIII as part of his sea defences against the French and Spanish.
Later in history, it was the last place held by the Royalists in the 17th Century English Civil War. It was deliberately ruined by the victorious Parliamentarians after the Royalists surrendered.
