What is recorded here
The National Heritage List for England records Whitwick 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.
Whitwick Castle was built in the 13th century by the de Ferrers family, a prominent noble lineage in medieval England. It is remembered as an important example of a motte-and-bailey castle and as a strategic stronghold in the English Midlands.
