Amberley Castle is an imposing 14th century stone quadrangular enclosure fortress, encasing an older manor house in its south-east corner. Still completely enclosed by a high curtain wall, which is only flanked by a magnificent twin-tower gatehouse to the south and a kitchen block and a garderode tower with gun loops to the north. Square internal towers stood at the corners, with a small water-gate in the west wall and a Norman postern in the east wall. 5 miles north is Pulborough Castle and 5 miles south is Arundel Castle.
