Hadleigh Castle, nestled on the Essex coast overlooking the Thames Estuary, was once a mighty fortress built by one of England’s most powerful men, Hubert de Burgh1st Earl of Kent. From royal retreats and military renovations under Edward III to its eventual ruin and romanticisation by John Constable, this video explores the 800-year journey of Hadleigh Castle.
Discover its strategic importance during the Hundred Years’ War, how it was reshaped by queens and kings, why it fell into decline, and how it played a role even in WWII and the 2012 Olympics. A fascinating story of political intrigue, architectural ambition, and natural decay.
