Walworth Castle, Grade I listed castle in Walworth, England

The main structure consists of a three-story building with five bays, featuring two round towers made of limestone rubble and Welsh slate.

Constructed around 1600 by architect Thomas Holt for Thomas Jenison, the castle stands on the location of a 12th-century manor house.

King James VI of Scotland visited this residence in 1603 during his journey to his coronation and knighted Elizabeth Jennison's son-in-law.

Located five miles from Darlington, the castle functions as a hotel with accommodation in both the main building and an adjacent annex.

During World War II, the castle served as a detention facility for 200 German and Italian officers under Major Rollin Holmes' supervision.
