Elmley Castle, Medieval castle ruins near Elmley Castle village, England.
The remains of Elmley Castle include earthworks and traces of a stone keep positioned on the northern slopes of Bredon Hill.
Robert le Despenser constructed the initial earthwork and timber fortification in the late 11th century, which later received stone additions under Beauchamp ownership.
The castle grounds preserve the outline of a medieval deer park, representing the aristocratic hunting practices of Norman and medieval England.
Visitors can reach the castle ruins by following a marked footpath from the village of Elmley Castle, located 12 miles southeast of Worcester.
The castle maintained its status as a residence until 1544 when a survey documented its complete structural deterioration prior to royal land transfer.
