About Middleham Castle
Standing at the heart of the town, Middleham Castle is an impressive fortress with a strong connection to England’s medieval past. Once home to Richard III, the castle features substantial stone walls and a large central keep, giving visitors a clear sense of its original scale and purpose.
Today, visitors can explore the ruins, climb the towers, and look out across the surrounding countryside. Interpretation boards help bring the castle’s history to life, from its origins in the 12th century to its role in later conflicts.
