Myddle Castle

Engraving of Myddle Castle by J. Stewart, from an original drawing by D. Parkes of Shrewsbury.  Published in "The Beauties of England and Wales" in 1913.

Myddle Castle (Map grid reference SJ46902357) was built around 1307 as a home for Lord Lestrange of Knockin. All that remains today is a stair turret at the north east corner where parts of former window and door frames can be seen.   The rectangular outline of the castle is still visible on the ground, and part of the moat remains.  

The castle is sited on land owned by Castle Farm, but can be seen from the main road through Myddle, and from public footpaths around the farm, though there is no direct access to the Castle itself.
