This 12th-century castle ruin stands atop a hill overlooking the surrounding countryside, its crumbling walls and towers a testament to its rich history. The castle's stone keep, built in the 1170s, still stands proud, its rugged façade bearing the scars of centuries of weather and conflict. The surrounding earthworks and moat, added in the 13th century, evoke a sense of the castle's former grandeur and defensive prowess.
Beautiful location! Nice and remote area to give from the bustle of city life. Nearby church adds to the view quiet nicely. Small free car park with a 1 minute walk to the castle. I came when there was scaffolding, but it was still lovely to see and be in the presence of history.
Scaffolding is down and the restoration work is beautifully done, great place to visit and lovely walks with more Medieval archaeology nearby (nb remains of stone cross 5km North).
This could probably be quite a nice place to see but unfortunately the whole thing is covered in scaffolding while conservation work is happening, and apparently has been for the last year. It might be good if you are really enthusiastic about seeing such a site otherwise I'd give it a miss unless the scaffolding is off.
I'm a very quiet village, we stumbled upon this place, unfortunately due to time and repairs are very clear , and in places looks like an eye sore
Hidden away, off the beaten track - literally! Weeting is a gem as few manor houses of this period survive. Free to visit with reasonably level access. A wheelchair would be a challenge but not impossible. The main walls were being stabilised when we visited but the scaffolding should be away by now
Really interesting place. Had no cost, and parking was free. There was some construction to repair, but still very cool to be there.
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
Good for kids
