Huntington Castle, near Kilmyshall
For a lived-in house and old gardens rather than an empty defensive shell.
The story behind Huntington Castle
Huntington was built as a garrison in 1625 and later developed as a family home. That change of use is central to the visit: domestic rooms, collections and gardens sit within a building that began with a military purpose.
What you will see
Guided interiors and the gardens offer two different ways to spend time here. The old kitchen and conservatory bring the household into focus; outside, the Yew Walk gives the estate a quieter character. Private events sometimes change the normal visitor arrangements.

Where this comes from
- From the map
- The name, the kind of place, the address where the record carries one, and any website, phone or opening hours shown as recorded on the map are tags on OpenStreetMap node/1565547952, and can be corrected there.
- Worked out here
- Every distance, the nearest road where the record has no address, which car park and which stop are nearest, and the order of the lists are this site’s own calculations from those records. Distances are straight lines between two points, not walks along the footpaths, and the map will route the real walk on request. A mistake in any of this is a mistake here rather than on the map.
