亨利八世为守卫黑麦港而建造的炮台遗址。 圆塔建于1512-1514年间,并在1539-1544年间进行了扩建,当时坎伯作为一连串海岸防线的一部分进行了扩建。 在亨利决定与罗马天主教会决裂后,这些炮台旨在保护英格兰的海岸免遭外国入侵。 到16世纪末,淤塞的坎贝尔河的水位使该城堡过时了。

坎伯城堡位于黑麦和温切尔西之间的一片被称为布雷德平原的开垦地上,以前被称为温切尔西城堡,它的第一阶段比亨利八世后来制定的保护英国海岸线的堡垒链计划或装置要早,这一点很不寻常。 然而,最初的塔楼具有与罗马决裂后于1540年代出现的一些特征、它高59.英尺(18米),最初有三层住宿。 1539年,通过增加带有小炮台的幕墙加强了防御,在城堡周围形成了一个八角形的庭院。 然后在1542年,城堡的外部防御被完全改变,有了同时,幕墙也被加厚,原来的塔楼也增加了高度。 塔楼上有28人和28门火炮,驻扎得很好,但由于坎贝尔河的淤塞,它的作战寿命很短,离海很远。 1545年的一次法国突袭可能是查尔斯一世批准将其拆除,但这并没有发生。 它一直保持着可用的状态,直到内战时,具有讽刺意味的是,议会军队将其部分拆除,这样它就不能被国王的支持者使用。

比较坎伯城堡和卡尔肖特城堡的短暂生命是很有趣的。 卡尔肖特城堡一直到20世纪末都在进行军事用途,而坎伯的迅速衰落不仅仅是由于它的位置和来自欧洲的威胁减少,而是由于它的设计没有效果。 在拿破仑战争期间,人们讨论了将坎伯城堡改成马特罗塔的可能性,并且J.M.W.Turner在这个时候创作了一幅关于城堡的画作。 坎贝尔城堡于1967年归国家所有,如今是由英国遗产局管理的一级保护建筑。 它周围的区域是自然保护区。
