Here are the grade II* listed remains of Snodhill Castle in the parish of Peterchurch, which was first built of stone in the mid 12th century. The castle existed here for half a millennium until it was sieged in the English Civil War around 1650. The ruins were overgrown with many trees in the area when it was given listed status in January 1949, and it wasn't until 2016 when the Snodhill Castle Preservation Trust saved the site from further destruction. The site opened to the public in late May 2018, and I visited the area in June 2018 when the area was still being restored.
