The impressive ruins of Moreton Corbet Castle are the product of over 500 years of building. The earliest surviving remains are those of a stone castle begun in about 1200, including a fine gatehouse. The Corbet family remodelled the castle in the 16th century, and the Elizabethan south wing is a rare survival from this period of a bold Italian-inspired design, which was devastated during the Civil War. Fine Corbet monuments fill the adjacent church. Parking: There is limited free car parking available in the layby next to the castle. Access: Wheelchair access is possible to most of the site, but there are some short flights of stairs within the ruins. Facilities: Shops and a pub can be found in nearby Shawbury. There are no toilet facilities at the castle. Dogs: Dogs on leads are welcome. Please be aware: There is a hidden drop within the ruins, next to the Elizabethan Kitchen.
