Ripley Castle, Medieval castle and house museum in Ripley, England.
The 700-year-old castle includes lakes, a deer park, walled gardens, hothouses, and a kitchen garden, surrounded by formal landscaping.
Sir Thomas Ingleby received the estate through marriage to Edeline Thwenge in the 14th century, establishing the family's continuous ownership.
The castle gained media attention through appearances in The Flaxton Boys television series, the 1976 Disney film Escape from the Dark, and BBC's Gunpowder.
Guided tours operate from April to October, with adult admission at £15 for full access and £8 for gardens and grounds only.
The castle's gatehouse, positioned 260 feet south of the main building, holds separate Grade I listed status from English Heritage.
