Castle

What is recorded here

Locking Head Castle has stood in North Somerset since 1100, its stones holding the weight of centuries while people came and went around it. The castle may have watched ships pass or simply marked the edge of a family's land, but either purpose gives it life. It is not a grand name in history books, yet it remains a real place where human hands shaped stone and time shaped the hands back.
Locking Head Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of North Somerset. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Locking Head Castle was built in the 13th century, likely by a local noble or landowner for defensive purposes. It is remembered as an example of medieval fortification in the North Somerset area.
