Brampton Bryan Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Brampton Bryan, Herefordshire, England.
The substantial remains include an outer gatehouse, sections of inner gatehouse, and portions of south wall connected to the kitchen and great hall.
In 1643, Lady Brilliana Harley defended the castle against 700 Royalist soldiers during the English Civil War with 50 loyal supporters.
The castle represents the continuous influence of the Harley family, who maintained control of the property through marriage and inheritance for 700 years.
Visitors can observe the Grade I listed ruins near Brampton Bryan Hall, which stands as the current residence of Harley family descendants.
The castle guards a strategic route from Ludlow along the Teme Valley to Knighton, positioned 50 meters south of River Teme.
