There has been a castle here on the hill top at Pickering since the Norman times as a motte and bailey castle. Over time it has been developed and the ruins you now see were used for royal holidays and hunting trips.

The castle is open to the public and is run by English Heritage. See their website for further details english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/pickering-castle
