Whittington Castle

A stunning 12th century castle ruin on the Welsh border.

We are Whittington Castle, a storied ruin in North Shropshire owned and run by the community. The history of this beautiful landmark dates back to at least the 12th century. We host a large number of great events each year and have a kitchen and tea room that is open all year round. The best part is it’s completely free to enter, so why not come and give us a visit?
