Scotney Castle
Scotney Castle is one of my favourite castles to photograph in Kent. A fortified manor house, Scotney Castle was built in c. 1378-80 by Roger Ashburnham. It was strategically sited where the road from Rye and Hastings crossed the valley of the Bewel. The remnants of Ashburnham's house include the massive round tower rising from the lake-like moat and a ruined gatehouse. An Elizabethan brick range adjoining the tower is all that survives of the 16th-century additions, and jagged walls with gaping windows mark a substantial 17th-century wing.
