Carisbrooke Castle plays an integral role in both history of the Isle of Wight and the wider country. Home to Isabelle de Fortibus, Sir George Carey, Princess Beatrice and prison to Charles 1, it is steeped in English history. In its time, the castle has been a symbol of political power, a fortress protecting England against invasion, a prison and a home.
