Mulgrave Castle, Grade I listed medieval castle in Lythe, United Kingdom.
The stone castle extends across a ridge with two guard towers at its entrance, reinforced by defensive moats and buttressed walls.
Parliament ordered the castle's destruction in 1647 during the English Civil War, leading to its dismantlement using gunpowder charges.
The estate incorporates designs from 1792 by Humphry Repton, who influenced the integration of landscaping principles in rural English settings.
The castle stands 6 kilometers west of Whitby, featuring multiple entrance points including a main gate near Lythe village.
Local legends attribute the original castle to Wada, a 6th-century ruler from Hälsingland who constructed numerous fortifications in Yorkshire.
