Mettingham Castle is a fortified manor house that was created in the 14th Century. Given to monks to create a college, after the dissolution of the monasteries it was sold into private hands. From here, you can see the Gatehouse only, but it's in very good condition thanks to English Heritage. You can't get close to the building, but it's an impressive site nonetheless.

Its a private castle so you can't get past the gate, but nice to see some history while exploring.

Remains of a small ruined castle, mainly an impressive gatehouse and some adjoining curtain wall. In private ownership so not accessible.
