Bramber
Castle Bramber Village, West Sussex
A delightful setting - ruins and old moat to
explore.
There is a small car park next to the
castle, but there is a set of steep steps up
to the castle which make disabled and pushchair
access difficult.
Watch out for steep drops round the edge of the castle grounds - take special
care with very young children.

FREE entry.
Well signposted on the west side of Bramber Village, just off
the A283. See Map
