Map
Eye Castle is a Norman motte-and-bailey castle with medieval walls and a Victorian folly. When Hugh Bigod, Earl of Norfolk attacked the castle in 1173, during the rebellion against Henry II, it began to lose much of its strategic importance. All that remains of the castle today is the ruins of the keep and a trace of the elliptical shape of the former outer bailey in Castle and Church Street. A walk to the top of the keep now provides great views from the only high ground in north Suffolk.
