Dinton Castle

Dinton Castle is an 18th‑century ornamental folly on a small hill north of Dinton village in Buckinghamshire. Built as an eyecatcher for the Dinton Hall estate, it has an octagonal main block with circular towers at the east and west. The structure has been used as an exhibition space and later converted to a private dwelling.

As it stood in 1769

What Dinton Castle looked like in its prime.

A compact octagonal stone folly with attached circular towers rising one to three storeys, built of pale local limestone with visible embedded fossils in the masonry. Pointed arched window and door openings puncture thick walls; the building sits on a low grassy knoll surrounded by mature trees. From a distance the silhouette is a squat multi-towered stone block with irregular window voids and rough stone texture, set in parkland pasture.
