    Hopton Castle, located in Shropshire, is a historic fortification that dates back to the 12th century. This medieval castle played a significant role in the English Civil War and was the site of a famous siege in 1644.

    Hopton Castle refers to a village and a castle of the same name, hidden in the rolling Shropshire countryside between Craven Arms and Knighton. The castle itself has been a ruin since the 18th century, and is a wonderfully atmospheric place to wander around. Grade I listed, it's looked after by the Hopton Castle Preservation Trust, which has overseen recent restoration work and an appearance on Time Team in 2010.
