Bampton Castle, Medieval castle in Bampton, Oxfordshire, England
The castle features remnants of a gatehouse and curtain wall, situated on elevated ground near the present-day Ham Court building.
The structure was constructed between 1314 and 1315 during Edward II's reign by Aymer de Valence, Earl of Pembroke, following royal permission.
The castle's architectural elements demonstrate medieval defensive techniques, including its strategic position and four-sided layout with corner towers.
Located 5 miles south of Witney, the castle grounds remain accessible to visitors who can examine the remaining structures throughout the day.
Parts of the original castle structure were integrated into Ham Court, creating a Grade II* listed building that combines different historical periods.
