The 'Windsor of the North', Middleham Castle is a striking and evocative ruin. The sight of it is unmistakable and impressive as you approach the market town of Middleham. It was built by Robert Fitzrandolph in the late 12th century and was the childhood home of King Richard III. Today it is owned and operated by English Heritage and requires advance booking should you wish to explore its nooks and crannies.
