Dating back to 1386, the castle was built by Sir Richard de Abbesbury and has since stood the test of time, albeit in mostly ruined form.

The intricate stonework and the towers' imposing presence transport us back in time, offering a glimpse into the past. Donnington Castle's rich history is deeply intertwined with the political and social landscape of medieval England.
