    Tips

    October 2, 2023

    Castle Steed was deserted at the beginning of the 13th century after the construction of the castle at nearby Hornby. The earthworks of Castle Stede remain visible and is a great example of a motte and Bailey. It was built to oversee a fording point of the river and its strategic importance was shown nine centuries later with the construction of a pill box during the Second World War.
