Snodhill Castle is a very early Motte and Bailey Norman Castle (possibly built as early as 1067) set on a fascinating hilltop site that has a history of occupation going back to Neolithic times.

The castle itself has many unique architectural and defensive features and has many unsolved mysteries not least being that it is the only known Lordship Castle to have had a Royal Chapel.

The castle has been administered by the Snodhill Castle Preservation Trust since 2016 and with the help of Historic England, the Garfield Weston Foundation and the National Lottery the castle has been rescued, opened to the public and now it’s secrets are being revealed this month by excavations led by Manchester University and in August by a community dig funded by the lottery.
