Rothley Castle, Grade II* listed gothic folly in Rothley, Northumberland, England
The castle features a central two-story tower positioned on a hill, offering views across the Northumberland countryside from its elevated position.
Architect Daniel Garrett designed this ornamental structure in 1755 for Sir Walter Blackett, who owned the nearby Wallington Hall estate.
The castle represents the 18th-century architectural movement where wealthy landowners constructed decorative buildings to enhance their estates' visual appeal.
Visitors can park their vehicles at Rothley crossroads on the grass verge and follow the marked path to reach the castle structure.
The castle stands where a genuine medieval tower once existed, which was removed in the early nineteenth century to make way for this decorative building.
