Allington Castle, Maidstone Kent
The 1st castle on the site was a mound with a moat around it built by William de Warenne. The present building was built between 1279 and 1299 and was restored from a ruin in the early 20th century. It is now a square fortified country house. The buildings are arranged round the inside of the courtyard with a curtain wall connecting them. The semi-circular towers face the moat which connects with the Medway.
