What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Barnstaple Castle as a scheduled monument. The saved point comes from the centre supplied by the official record. Listing does not by itself mean that the public may enter the place.
Barnstaple Castle was built in the 12th century by the de Bury family, likely as a defensive stronghold to control the surrounding area. It is remembered for its historical significance in the region's medieval military and administrative landscape.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
