A 12th-century castle situated in Shropshire, Whittington Castle is a picturesque ruin surrounded by a moat, featuring a mix of medieval and Tudor architectural styles. The castle's remains include a gatehouse, curtain walls, and a rectangular keep, with some sections still standing to their original height.
Lovely little castle ruins, good for a short walk and feeding the ducks. Fantastic cafe with the best cakes and drinks we had on our holiday! Shop and second hand bookshop too with a small display of finds. Dog friendly throughout including the cafe. Free entry, PS2 parking
Happened upon this place on the map and it was also a village fete day (August bank holiday Monday) small paying car park, free access to castle and grounds. Friendly cafe providing hot and cold food and drinks. Can even be booked as a wedding venue!
A quaint , picturesque castle ruins . Free entry to wander around the pretty grounds. A cafe is on site which makes the visit enjoyable if you wish to enjoy the surroundings with a coffee .
Really lovely time exploring with the kids. Able to allow them some freedom. Free entry. PS2 parking for as long as you want. Cafe serves great food.
A beautiful stop off, well worth a look. Free to enter and wander around, just a PS2 car park fee. Good information boards dotted around helping to visualise it at its best. Great cafe on site, serving good food and drink. Brownies are amazing!! Nice little gift shop too.
Fantastic day out at Whittington castle no charge just a PS2.00 donation for parking. Little gift shop with a good selection of reasonable priced items. Cafe with good selection of food. Beautiful back drop to the castle plus there was an enactment group there who seemed very knowledgeable and were willing to talk. Looking forward to going back 26/27 May to see a reenactment of the civil war
