Tips

Cycling

Built in the 14th century for John Harrington, Gleaston Castle passed through the hands of various affluent families throughout its history. Eventually, the castle lay disused and fell into disrepair. Although the Grade-I listed ruins are not open to the public, you can spot them from the road.

Great spot for a photo is from the Gleaston House Cottage, since the site itself is closed to the public for safety reasons.
