What is recorded here

Flamborough Castle stands as a twelfth-century fortified manor on the exposed Yorkshire coast, its stone keep built to watch the sea and command the surrounding land. The perimeter wall still marks the boundary of that medieval defence, preserving the shape of a house that served both as a home and a weapon. It is easy to imagine lanterns moving along the wall at dusk, their light catching the cliff edge while the occupants read the weather in the colour of the water below.

The National Heritage List for England records Flamborough Castle: a fortified manor house 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.

Flamborough Castle, a fortified manor house, was built in the 14th century, likely by the powerful Percy family, who held significant lands in the region. It is remembered for its strategic position on the North Sea coast and as an example of medieval defensive architecture in a domestic setting.
