What is recorded here

Saltwood Castle (uninhabited portions) is a scheduled monument in Folkestone and Hythe, England. The official record recognises the uninhabited parts as worthy of protection, while the inhabited parts remain separate under ordinary ownership and use. That boundary suggests a place where memory, residence and law still tangle together.

The National Heritage List for England records Saltwood Castle (uninhabited portions) 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.

Saltwood Castle was originally built in the 11th century by the de Warenne family and later held by the powerful Courtenay family. It is important as a well-preserved example of a medieval castle and for its historical association with significant noble families in the region.
