Acklam
Castle is an earthwork motte and bailey fortress, with stone foundations buried
in the bailey. Sadly farm buildings have badly damaged its low motte and large
rectangular bailey, making the layout hard to observe. A mile west is Leppington
Castle and 4 miles north is Langton Castle.
Acklam Castle is located in the village centre, off Pasture Hill. 14 miles north-east of York, on the A116.
The site is visible from the road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
