Описание: http://aeg360.co.uk/

Not a great deal is known about the history of Thurnham Castle.

An estimate has been made that it originally dates back to the late 11th century.

Thurnham Castle is situated to the north of Thurnham village with the castle entrance located at the top of Castle Hill.

Remains of the Curtain wall are still standing along with two square tower bases, one to the North west side and the other half way along the west curtain wall.

The position of Thurnham Castle gives it an elevated advantage on the edge of the North Downs, as it overlooks literally everything into the horizon.

Thurnham is one of three earthwork castles in the area, along with Detling & Stockbury Castle.

Thurnham Castle is an interesting place to see if you are visiting the area.
