Clent Castle, Folly castle in Clent Hills, Worcestershire, England
Clent Castle is a castle-like structure in the Clent Hills with two round towers connected by a lower central section. The construction uses handmade brick and stone dressings throughout.
Thomas Liell, a former Royal Navy Lieutenant, built this structure in the late 18th century opposite the Fountain Inn. The building is now a Grade II listed historic structure.
The castle displays Gothic Revival details such as pointed arches and windows shaped like Maltese crosses. These architectural features give the building its distinctive character that visitors notice today.
The structure is reachable via walking paths in the Clent Hills and offers free access to all visitors. The paths in the area are generally accessible for those wanting to explore the building and its surrounding grounds.
The building mirrors the design of Castle Bourne in Belbroughton, another work from the same period. Many local residents remain unaware of its location despite it being situated in their immediate community.
