Features

Castle & Norman Village: Come along to this award-winning Medieval Motte and Bailey Castle and Norman Village and travel back in time to Norman England of 1066. Meet our friendly animals that roam freely throughout the 10 acre site which love to be hand fed!
The House on the Hill Museum: The House on the Hill Museum is the largest collection of Toys in the world, with at least 80,000 toys, books and games on display from late Victorian times up to 1990’s.
Dinosaur Encounter: As you approach our House on the Hill Museum you’ll wander through our Dinosaur Experience. Marvel at the life size dinosaurs that surround the entrance including our new animatronic Velociraptor, Allosaurus and Ankylosaurus!
The Haunted Manor: Spookily located within the Toy Museum is The Haunted Manor, if you’re feeling brave enough to walk through the chilling chambers to the bewitched Victorian bedroom. But beware… this is not for the faint hearted!
Dark Side of Medieval Life: Created in 2020 and new to Mountfitchet Castle is our walk through interactive experience ‘The Darkside Of Medieval Life’. The dark, more sinister and unnerving side to Medieval life are here including alchemy, tannery workers, rat catchers, the Black Death. Walk through and experience the sounds and smells whilst peering into the different exhibits through a maze of tunnels that are located within the castle complex
Meet & Feed the Animals: Mountfitchet Castle prides itself on the freedom and happiness of all its animals, many of which have come from less happy backgrounds; some of the chickens are rescued from battery farms, the goats are either unwanted or outgrown pets and the deer are either road accident victims or orphans.
