Heighley Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Madeley, England.
The remains of Heighley Castle include scattered masonry fragments situated on elevated ground, with vegetation growing throughout the historical structure.
The Audley family completed the construction of Heighley Castle in 1233, and it remained their ancestral residence for more than three centuries.
The castle's architecture represents the medieval period's defensive construction methods, with its strategic position demonstrating the military considerations of that era.
As Heighley Castle stands on private property and maintains Grade II listed building status, visitors cannot access the site without special permission.
Parliamentary forces targeted and destroyed the castle during the English Civil War in the 1640s while it served as a stronghold for King Charles I.
