This castle was built by Major Henry Langley in 1830 to a design by William Vitruvius Morrison. The aim was for it to resemble a medieval castle. Work on the castle was abandoned when Major Langley was struck by a falling stone on the site in 1834. As an already impressive site, it would have looked spectacular if finished.
The castle is to the north of the road at the highlight point.

Instead of a ruin, Brittas Castle was actually never finished. Work was abandoned when Major Langley, who commissioned the building, was struck by a falling stone on the site in 1834. Head up the lane to the north east for a better view.
