The Castle
In 1080 Robert Curthose, son of William the Conqueror, built the first wooden fortification from which the city takes its name - the ’New Castle’. Today’s Castle Keep (1168-78) was built during the reign of Henry II and overlies the earlier Roman fort of Pons Aelius (pons - Latin for bridge, Aelius - Family name of Emperor Hadrian who visited the site in 122AD). It is one of the finest examples of a Norman Keep in the country and is now a Grade I listed building.The roof of the Castle Keep boasts fantastic views of the Quayside, its bridges and the city centre, and it’s well worth climbing the 134 steps to the top!
