Stafford Castle is a Grade II listed castle situated approximately 2 miles outside of the town of Stafford. Originally a huge timber framed fortress built in around 1071 on the orders of William the Conqueror, it provides an impressive example of the Motte and Bailey structure. Over time the castle has suffered changing fortunes with the castle becoming derelict in the 1950’s.

The site itself is 26 acres and consists of the Keep, inner bailey, outer bailey, herb garden and woodland.
