Kinnersley Castle, Medieval castle in Kinnersley, England
Kinnersley Castle stands as a stone structure with an Elizabethan exterior, featuring oak-panelled rooms and decorated ceilings throughout its multiple floors.
The original castle was built between 1100 and 1135 during Henry I's reign, and the Vaughan family conducted extensive renovations in the 16th century.
The solar ceiling from 1588 contains detailed plasterwork with motifs of green men and serpent hounds, adorned with gold accents throughout the design.
The castle opens for guided tours during specific dates, with special events scheduled around the Kinnersley Christmas Fair at £5 per entry.
The castle grounds maintain one of Britain's largest ginkgo biloba trees, which provides leaves annually for herbal pharmaceutical production.
