Scotney Castle

Really 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. In 1836, Edward Hussey – the creator of the gardens we see today – consulted W.S. Gilpin, the noted landscape designer, in an effort to take advantage of the scenic potential of the site. He knew the castle was too cold and damp for habitation so he had the walls of the castle selectively demolished, leaving the present fairytale ruin.
