What visitors say
Odiham castle is along a lovely little canal. It's near a beautiful walking path and a great spot to check out. It's not very big, so you will probably only need 10-15 minutes to check it out. Interesting piece if history! It's just kind of there, so you don't need to pay and it's open 24 hours.

A fascinating medieval 'Castle' ruin. It's small for a 'castle'. You can stand inside and there are information plaques. Lovely walk to it by the canal.

The castle is beautiful but so is the short walk along thd towpath go get there. It's literally a circular structure, so won't take long to look around but Odiham is so cute and you're surround by beautiful countryside. I'd recommend the 5 minute walk to look at the 2 fords.
