Langton
Castle is an earthwork enclosure fortress or fortified manor house. The large oval platform, encased by a wide defensive ditch, stands against the slope of Clombe Beck. There was a castle recorded here in the Medieval period and this platform is probably its remains but there is an earthwork mound in the village. 4 miles north is Malton Castle and 5 miles south-west is Leppington Castle.
Langton Castle is located in the village centre, west of Cordike Lane. 17 miles north-east of York, on the A64.
The site is visible from the road.
Car parking is by the side of the road.
