Castle RiseOdiham Castle is located within a tranquil site adjacent to the Basingstoke Canal. The Castle, with its surrounding defensive ditches, was built between 1207 and 1214.

In September 2007 Hampshire County Council undertook a restoration of the shell keep under guidance from English Heritage.
