Welcome to Highcliffe Castle, a Grade 1 listed building situated on the cliff top overlooking Christchurch Bay.
On your visit you will be introduced to the stories of the people who have lived in the Castle, and hear about how this once lavish aristocrat's home was destroyed by two fires and subsequently rescued from ruin. You can often observe our on-site conservator at work in our Stained Glass Studio, restoring pieces of the Castle’s medieval collection. Onsite refreshments available, or you can enjoy a picnic on the lawns whilst enjoying the sea view.
There is plenty to do for all of the family; from our interactive displays and extensive array of period dressing up clothes, to our programme of trails and crafts.
The Castle also hosts a changing programme of exhibitions, and exciting events throught the year, including our popular outdoor theatre events on the lawns.
*Temporary takeaway service available.
