Wattlesborough Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Alberbury with Cardeston, England
The remains of Wattlesborough Castle include a large square tower with stone walls situated in the Shropshire countryside surrounded by rural landscapes.
Sir Robert Corbet constructed this fortification during the late 13th century, establishing it as a defensive stronghold in the region of Shropshire.
The castle holds Grade I listed building status and scheduled monument designation, representing significant architectural heritage in the local area.
The castle structure currently lacks a roof and several masonry blocks have fallen, indicating an immediate need for preservation measures.
The castle's strategic position northwest of Wattlesborough village provides extensive views across the surrounding English countryside from its remaining walls.
