Image: © Oliver Dixon Taken: 14 Apr 2007
Rebuilt in the 14th century on the site of a Norman castle, this Castle is privately owned http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brancepeth_Castle . Open occasionally to the public for special events such as craft fairs and Shakespearean performances. The upkeep of such a massive building must be a major financial headache for the owner.
