Now in ruins, Canterbury Castle was built by William the Conqueror's Normans from 1070 onwards, and in the 13th century served as a prison for the entire region. It also served as a warehouse for a gas company during its long history. Little now remains of the building, but it still offers a fine view of the surrounding area from the top of its stairs.
