A 12th century castle in the market town of Framlingham in Woodbridge, Suffolk. Once owned by Mary Tudor and later used by Elizabeth I as a prison for priests who defied the Church of England.

The following Knightmare scenes were filmed at Framlingham Castle:

Series 4 dungeoneers arriving on Treguard's doorstep.
The supports in the background are the remains of a footbridge on the eastern side, leading from the castle to a large hunting park.
The room where each Series 4 dungeoneer acquired the Eyeshield from either Hordriss, Malice or Merlin.
It made a further appearance in Series 5, when Ben met Elita in a strangely modified version of the room (now in Level 3).
Pickle expressed amazement every time the Eyeshield started working: "It sees, master, it sees!"
The western side of the castle was used as the path home for departing teams in Series 4.
This area later became Winteria, where Team 4 of Series 5 chose Level 3 clue objects...
...and went on to defeat Aesandre.
Views of the castle from across the Mere (a large artificial lake on the western side) appeared behind the end credits of Series 4 episode 15...
...and Series 5 episode 8.

Framlingham Castle is now managed by English Heritage and is open to the public. Click here to visit the website.

Two photographs of the castle exterior, taken by Jake Collins, can be found in Issue 45 of The Eye Shield.
