Old Wardour Castle
Old Wardour Castle is a 14th‑century hexagonal castle in Wiltshire, England, built of locally quarried Tisbury greensand. Largely altered in the 1570s by the Arundell family, it preserves a six‑sided plan with towers, battlements, a central courtyard and a prominent carved entrance; it was rendered uninhabitable in the Civil War and survives today as an English Heritage‑managed ruin open to the public.

The shape it held in its prime.
A unique six‑sided (hexagonal) plan of coursed Tisbury greensand set on a low ridge, with multiple projecting towers (including a north tower) and continuous curtain walls topped by battlements and a projecting defensive gallery between the entrance towers; a central arched portal with a portcullis slot and a carved Arundell coat‑of‑arms above; an internal hexagonal courtyard around a central well, formerly enclosed by four or five storeys with tall windows and timber roofs and a high great hall with a musicians' gallery.
