Thought to date back to the 11th century, this earthwork motte and bailey adds a little bit of history to the roman town of Towcester. I visited yesterday and although the area surrounding is very attractive, sadly due to neglect there is hardly anything left of the castle itself. There are some steep stairs which lead you to the top and this enables nice views out onto the nature reserve/ park and stream . There is a small short stay car park located in Northampton road and this lovely little piece of history is well worth an hour or so. Very nice but nothing left. Visited June 8th 2020.

Just a short walk out of the village and on the banks of the river Nene are the remains of the castle which was the birthplace of Richard III and the site of Mary, Queen of Scots' execution. All that remains is the castle mound, moat (dried up) and a fragment of wall which has two plaques commemorating the two events. A beautiful site and fantastic views along the river it is worth the short climb up to the top of the mound. Another display near the entrance explains more about the castle.
