Skelton Castle, Grade I listed country house in Skelton-in-Cleveland, England
The two-storey sandstone mansion features a five-bay frontage and incorporates elements from its medieval predecessor within its current structure.
Robert de Brus constructed the original stone castle in 1140, which included two lookout towers, dungeons, and a moat with drawbridge.
The castle served as a meeting place for the Demoniacks club and inspired parts of Laurence Sterne's novel Tristram Shandy.
The property extends across 11,000 acres of land and remains a private residence, maintaining limited public access to its grounds.
A classical doorway leading to nowhere stands on the property, relocated from Gillingwood Hall after its destruction by fire in 1750.
