Amberley Castle
Hotel and restaurant in the country
After 900 years standing proud in the unspoilt county of West Sussex, known as “the garden of England”, this Medieval Castle with a working portcullis, 18 meters high walls and storybook battlement towers, has weathered the attacks of enemies and of time itself.
