What is recorded here
Middleham Castle stands in County Durham as a scheduled monument, marked on the official heritage list but not necessarily open for casual entry. The designation protects its ruins and history, yet it does not guarantee a welcome mat at the door. Approach with curiosity and respect, for the boundary between public knowledge and private land remains unclear without direct permission.
The National Heritage List for England records Middleham 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.
Middleham Castle was built in the 13th century and later held by the powerful Neville family, and it is best known as the childhood home of Richard III. It is important as a significant medieval stronghold and for its historical associations with the Wars of the Roses.
The historic-place record does not grant public access. Check current conditions and ownership before entering land or a building.
