The ruins of Thurnham Castle are a wonderful place to explore. Whilst the remains of the low stone walls are much overgrown, you can really step back in time here. The site has been used as a fortification and watchtower since Roman times. The Saxons then developed the site into Godard Castle. During the 12th century, the fortress belonged to the de Say family and then the de Thurnhams. A Charter in 1215 mentions the lands within the walls of the castle, which may indicate that it was already in ruins by then.
