25 miles from Granary Cottage but if you're a history buff, well worth the trip. It has been continuously occupied for over 1000 years. Beautiful gardens too and views over 5 counties. Not to be missed if you are interested in British history.

Built by William the Conqueror and was a royal residence for 450 years. Very interesting to look round with magnificent views. There are often events held there.

This remarkable castle, built on the instruction of William the Conqueror. Prior to the Watson’s ownership the Castle was held by the crown. There are very few other homes that have been continuously occupied for nearly 1000 years and within that time been owned by just one family since being relinquished as a royal Castle. I think this is a particularly extraordinary aspect of Rockingham’s long and fascinating story.

This wonderful castle hosts jousting contests each year which draw large numbers of people to enjoy, family friendly and only 15 minutes away from Carpenter's Rest Cottage.
