Ravensworth Castle and park wall, The Green, Ravensworth - North Yorkshire Council (UA)

Late C14, small roofless keep/gate tower and ruins of ancillary buildings, together with impressive water defences later adapted to form water gardens. Much repointing and consolidation is needed to all the surviving structures. Significant parts of the standing remains, including the gate tower, are now at risk. Project Development for a Repair grant has been completed, however the repair phase has not gone ahead.
