Flamborough Castle was originally a medieval fortified manor house, founded by Constable family. In 1351 and 1352, Marmaduke Constable founded the stone castle, when he was granted a licence to crenellate. The earlier clay rampart and ditch, was strengthen by a chalk curtain wall and a small chalk pele tower, with a vaulted basement, added to the complex range of buildings. Now only surrounded by earthworks, the three remaining walls of the tower, stand to first floor level. 4 miles south-west is The Bayle and 10 miles north-west is Hunmanby Castle.
