Weobley Castle

Weobley Castle


Leason, United Kingdom (GB)
The substantial remains of the castle are grouped around a small, open courtyard, with few indications of serious fortification. There is no firm evidence to suggest the site was fortified before 1304, though the substantial foundations of the southwest tower have been compared with earlier defensive stone keeps. Much of what is visible at Weobley today can be attributed to two, probably contiguous, phases of building activity, with work beginning in the early years of the 14th century.
