Arlesburgh Castle

Arlesburgh Castle is an ancient medieval fortress along the coast of Arlesburgh.

History
Arlesburgh has withstood many sieges, not always successfully, but the town has generally held out long enough to enable second lines of defence at Gob-y-Deighan (Devil's mouth), and Ulfstead to be put in a state of readiness to repel unwanted visitors. Following the Island's acceptance of Henry IV in 1404, Arlesburgh’s defences were no longer nescessary, and fell into disrepair. Very little now remains.
