Most of the cellars are vaulted and were built around 1285-1300, at the same time as the medieval town.

Winchelsea Archaeological Society (WAS) conducts tours of the cellars.

Find out why and how they were built, and also learn something of the history of the Ancient Town and Cinque Port of Winchelsea.

The cost is £5 and includes a guidebook to the cellars. All tours start at 2pm on Castle Street.
