Whittington Castle
Whittington Castle is a medieval marcher castle in northern Shropshire, England, centred on a stone gatehouse flanked by two round towers and an inner curtain wall forming a courtyard. It developed from an earlier motte-and-bailey into a stone inner bailey with towers, moat and an outer gatehouse, and later had elaborate 14th-century gardens. The site has been conserved and restored and is open to visitors under a preservation trust.

As it stood in 1320
The shape it held in its prime.
A broad arched central gate is flanked by two massive round drum towers of coursed grey sandstone with crenellated parapets and corbelled machicolation courses; narrow cross-shaped arrow-slits and small pointed-arched glazed windows puncture the towers. A low stone bridge crosses the surrounding moat to the gate. To the right the curtain wall steps down into a ruined stretch with a projecting chimney, and the moat margins are grassy with reeds.
