Information

If you visited Ely around 950 years ago, you would find a castle built to defend the Isle of Ely.

The castle was probably built by King William I, otherwise known as William the Conqueror.

Find out more about the castle and have fun with castle-themed crafts. We’re making our own castle alongside a knight and a bow & arrow to defend it too!
