Hartley Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Hartley, England.

The stone remnants of Hartley Castle include a vaulted cellar and earthworks north of an 18th-century farmhouse in Cumbria.

Thomas de Musgrave received permission to fortify the manor house in 1353, transforming it into a defensive structure near the Scottish border.

The castle's layout featured an inner quadrangle, outer courtyard, kitchen, chapel, and long gallery, reflecting medieval noble living standards.

The remaining structures stand on private farmland, with sections of stone walls and a staircase leading to the former kitchen cellar.

During the early 18th century, stones from the demolished castle were transported and reused for repairs at Edenhall.
