What is recorded here

The National Heritage List for England records Sandown Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Sandown Castle was built by Henry VIII in the 1530s as part of his coastal defense program to protect England from potential French or Spanish invasion. It is important as an example of 16th-century military architecture and as a reminder of the strategic defense measures taken during the Tudor period.

The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
