What is recorded here

Danby Castle is a fourteenth-century quadrangular stronghold in North Yorkshire, built by the Danby family and later claimed by the Nevilles. Four stone ranges still circle an empty courtyard, forcing the mind to imagine kitchens, guardrooms and private chambers now lost to time. The castle stands as substantial ruins on open moorland, preserving the shape of a northern residence that once combined domestic life with military defence.

The National Heritage List for England records Danby Castle: a quadrangular 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.

Danby Castle, a quadrangular castle in North Yorkshire, was built in the late 13th or early 14th century, likely by the de Danby family, a local landholding lineage. It is remembered for its well-preserved medieval design and as an example of a defensive stronghold in the Yorkshire Dales region.
