Lovely to walk around (somewhat paved). Pay to get in to see more of the same (ruins). Pay and display parking before entry. Pub and tea rooms just outside the castle grounds. Public toilets open and available too. Be sure to pop into St Nicholas Church nearby.

Pevensey Castle has an amazing history. But past that it's a lovely place to take kids. There's a large part that you can walk around for free, but if we want to keep these incredible parts of our unique history please pay the money to visit the interior!! It's worth every penny!!!
Hauntingly beautiful ruins surrounded by lovely countryside. A small river runs nearby. A water filled moat runs partway around the inner walls. Unfortunately, COVID has prevented access inside the inner curtain wall; an iron pad locked gate is across the entrance. Eager to get some good shots of the castle and to launch our drone, we walked to the right of the entrance and down a slope. There, we climbed over a small gate and across a part of the moat that was dry and grass filled. Once over, we were next to the castle itself and got some great footage. Parking is next to the castle (pay and display) and funds from the parking fees go towards the upkeep of the local museum. Altogether a wonderful place albeit limited at present.
Another lovely place to visit if you like castles and history. The grounds are open , but you can't go inside yet.
A really worthwhile visit. The English Heritage lady at the entrance building was very helpful and gave us a good description of the castle an walls. A highly recommended English Heritage site.
Excellent walk across Pevensey Levels to the castle. Nice to stroll around the grounds and local village, then back to Eastbourne. Very tranquil.
Awesome and atmospheric place, with ruins from Roman and Norman times, and two ancient churches either side of the castle. Great views over surrounding countryside and the English Channel. So much heritage in one place!
Fabulous castle ruins in a town with so much history
