Beeston Castle
Standing majestically on a sheer rocky crag, Beeston has perhaps the most stunning views of any castle in England. Excavations indicate that a Bronze Age settlement and Iron Age hillfort occupied the site long before the castle was begun in 1225. For centuries an impregnable royal fortress, it finally fell to Parliamentarian forces in the Civil War.
The ?Castle of the Rock? exhibition outlines the 4,000 year history of this strategic site. There are family-friendly books and activities.
