Explore the beautiful Hedingham Castle, one of the best heritage days out in Colchester!
Discover incredible history nestled right in the Essex-Suffolk border. Hedingham Castle is a remarkable example of Norman architecture, with a history dating back almost a millennium.
Constructed by the first Earl of Oxford, Aubrey de Vere, around 1140, the well-preserved keep is one of the best of its kind in the country. Aubrey was a prominent Norman nobleman who was granted the land by William the Conqueror after the Battle of Hastings in 1066.
This majestic Norman Castle stands in the heart of its ancient ramparts and medieval parkland, which have evolved into beautiful landscaped gardens.
