Nice little castle that has clean grounds and some disabled parking. Need to go into museum to get a ticket to go closer to the castle.

Conisbrough Castle is a 12th-century medieval fortification in Conisbrough, South Yorkshire, England, known for its imposing keep. The castle was initially built by William de Warenne, the Earl of Surrey, following the Norman Conquest. It was later rebuilt in stone, including the 28-meter (92 ft) high keep, by Hamelin Plantagenet. The castle's unique cylindrical keep, supported by six massive buttresses, is a prominent feature of the local landscape.
