Bronsil Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Eastnor, England
The fortified manor house features a surrounding moat, corner towers, and mid-wall fortifications within its four-sided structure near Ledbury.
Richard Beauchamp, Treasurer to Henry VI, received permission to crenellate his house at Bronsil in 1449 and 1460.
The castle stands as an example of medieval defensive architecture, reflecting the social and military requirements of Herefordshire's nobility.
The castle remains can be accessed two miles east of Ledbury via the A438, with a late 19th-century bridge crossing the moat.
During restoration work in 1991, the gatehouse tower collapsed into the moat while scaffolding was being erected for consolidation.
