This
one-time Roman port is dominated by the tower
of a 13th century church and was
first established as a fortified camp. The
biggest attraction here is a moated castle
with a 100ft tower built in the 15th
century by Sir John Fastoff, later
immortalised in three of Shakespeare’s plays
as Sir John Falstaff. The real Sir John
commanded the English archers at the momentous
Battle of Agincourt. The castle is now home to
a motor museum, which boasts the largest
private collection of motor vehicles in the
country. These include the first ‘real’ motor
car, the 1893 Panhard at Lavassor. |
