Hiking

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.
