Ravensworth Castle is a grade II listed building dating from the 14th century but with frequent changes until 1808.

It is now in ruins as in 1935 coal was mined directly under the property. The intention was to create a model village from the demolished castle but only three houses were built due to the start of the second world war.

Ravensworth Castle featured in the BBC Series, Restoration. Griff Rhys Jones presented the programme in which viewers voted on which neglected ruin should receive a grant from the Heritage Lottery Fund. Sadly it didn't win.
