Yarmouth Castle is an artillery fort built in Tudor times by Henry VIII to protect Yarmouth Harbour from the threat of French attack.
Just 100 feet across, this 1547 square castle was initially equipped with 15 artillery guns and a garrison of 20 men.
Yarmouth Castle is great for all ages, but perhaps a little overwhelming for the very youngest visitors
