Pelham
Castle is a small Norman earthwork motte, founded by Maurice, Bishop of London.
The base of the motte is encased by a dry ditch, with a counterscarp bank but
the position of the bailey has been lost. The dense cover of trees, makes it best
viewed in winter. 2 miles north-east is Anstey Castle.
Pelham Castle is located at Cole Green, north of the B1038. 21 miles south-west of Cambridge, on the M11-A505-B1368.
The site is visible from the road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
