Wigmore Castle is a remarkable 13th century stone motte and bailey fortress, which overlooks its original motte. This large castle is encased by a great ditch and has towers and curtain walls surviving to their full height, after the consolidation of the entire site. The buildings have been left buried to there first floor level, so the gate passage of the two storey gatehouse can only just be walked through. At the highest point stands the motte, with the impressive remains of a shell keep and a stair tower, standing to four storeys. 4 miles north-east is Aston Castle and 5 miles south-east is Croft Castle.
