Middleham Castle, Bishop Middleham (Bishop Middleham)
The site of Bishop Middleham Castle looking south. Spring 2000
This is the site of the medieval castle of Middleham, which stood on a high ridge. Only slight traces of the building, a few banks and ditches and some low stone walls, are all that can be seen. It was once the main house of the Bishops of Durham from the Norman Conquest (1066) to the end of the 14th century. This is a Scheduled Monument protected by law.
