Stokesay Castle is a classic example of an early fortified manor house. The surrounding moat is now dry and can be walked. Enter through the timber-framed gatehouse into the now empty courtyard, opposite is the almost untouched medieval Great Hall with its rare wooden staircase, to the timber-framed gallery in the north tower. At the other end of the hall is the solar and the isolated multiangulared south tower, crowned with its original battlements. 6 miles east is Culmington Castle.
