Ogle Castle, Fortified manor house in Whalton, England
The manor house contains sections of a medieval tower, with portions of a double moat system visible on its western and northern sides.
In 1341, Sir Robert Ogle received permission to fortify the manor, which later held David II of Scotland as prisoner after the Battle of Neville's Cross.
The structure represents the evolution of defensive architecture in medieval England, with later modifications reflecting changing needs during the Civil War period.
The Grade I listed building stands at 87 meters above sea level and remains accessible to visitors interested in medieval architecture and local history.
The castle's double moat system demonstrates advanced medieval engineering, with the inner moat retaining substantial depth despite centuries of weathering.
