Visit us
The mount is the remains of a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle built on a natural ridge commanding amazing views. Providing a tranquil refuge from the hustle and bustle of modern life, the daily hubbub in the air disappears to be replaced by birdsong.
Guided walks
Discover the history of Rayleigh on Saturdays, 3pm, April to September. Join us for a one to two hour walk. Suitable for all abilities (£2 per person). For details, please call 01268 77532.
Outdoor theatre
Look out for our open-air performances at Rayleigh Mount and enjoy the atmosphere. Why not bring a picnic, sit back, relax and enjoy.
Scale the ramparts
Explore the remnants of a Norman Motte and Bailey Castle. Originally built out of wood, the motte and inner bailey buildings are long gone but the site and views are still just as atmospheric.
Walk on the wild side
Rayleigh Mount could almost be a set for Sleeping Beauty with nature taking over where soldiers once trained. It's a green oasis where you can discover wildlife living in the heart of this busy town.
