Sutton Valence Castle is a ruined Norman keep that was built in the 12th century. From 1238, the strongly-defended castle was owned by Simon de Montfort, who led the baronial rebellion against Henry VIII. When de Monfort was killed at the Battle of Evesham in 1265, Henry III gave the castle to his half-brother William de Valence, as a reward for his loyalty. From the castle, you get an incredible panorama over East Sussex and the Weald of Kent. The castle, which is owned by English Heritage, is free to enter during daylight hours.
