Castle Sieges
Some of the most important military victories and losses in England were not fought on battlefields, but were sieges of castles and important buildings.
From giant stone-throwing machines capable of hurling boulders 300 yards, to disease and starvation, siege warfare was dangerous and could last for months. Experience the power of the castle siege for yourself at our siege events across England.
