Caverswall Castle, Staffordshire added to Castles and Fortifications in West Midlands by D0c.Col on 17/10/2024

AN AWESOME 17th CENTURY MOATED CASTLE HIDDEN IN A CHARMING STAFFORDSHIRE VILLAGE.

Caverswall Castle is a historic, Grade I listed building located in Staffordshire, England. Built in the early 17th century on the foundations of a 13th-century medieval castle, it features a unique blend of Jacobean architecture with medieval elements, like its moated design. The original castle was constructed in the 1200s, though it fell into ruin by the 17th century. In 1615, it was rebuilt by Matthew Cradock, a local wool merchant, who retained the medieval moat and incorporated modern architectural features of the time.

The castle's history is rich, having passed through various owners over the centuries. It was at different times used as a nunnery, a private home, and even a hotel. Its stunning architecture includes towers, battlements, and an impressive gatehouse, while the interior features grand rooms, paneling, and ornamental details that reflect its long and varied history.

In recent years, Caverswall Castle has attracted attention for being on the market multiple times, sometimes for potential restoration projects or commercial use. The castle's charm lies in its combination of medieval fortress-like features and later Jacobean elegance. Its picturesque setting includes landscaped gardens and the surrounding Staffordshire countryside, making it a remarkable example of England's architectural heritage.

I parked at the curbside just down the road. There are a lot of trees about so I took off from the Church adjacent to the Property. VLOS is possible with some careful planning!

Kylesku Bridge, Lairg (By AlbionDrones)

The iconic Kylesku Bridge on the NC500, remote and isolated, but so worth the effort to visit.

There is a free car park at either side of the bridge, allowing a safe place to stop, soak up the view and a good TOAL spot with great VLOS - although you are on the edge of EGR610 RAF Operational Low Flying Zone, so do check out the RAF Low Fly timetable - https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/operational-low-flying-training-timetable - before flying, and if in doubt ring the RAF Low Flying hotline - 01489443100

The bridge itself is an imposing concrete edifice, but the scenery is what makes the location amazing, the rapid tidal flow beneath the bridge, and the contrast between the brutal concrete and the mist-softened mountains is something quite amazing to see.
