Welcome to Hadley Castle

Hadley Castle is a ruined castle located in the village of Hadley in Shropshire, England. The castle was built in the 13th century by the Bishop of Chester, and it was used as a residence for the bishops until the 16th century. The castle was then abandoned and fell into ruin. Today, the ruins of Hadley Castle are a popular tourist attraction, and visitors can explore the remains of the castle and learn about its history.

The castle was built on a hill overlooking the village of Hadley, and it was surrounded by a moat. The castle was originally a rectangular building with a central courtyard, and it was later expanded with the addition of a gatehouse and a tower. The castle was built of sandstone, and some of the original stonework can still be seen today. The castle was also surrounded by a wall, which was built to protect the castle from attack.

Today, the ruins of Hadley Castle are a popular destination for tourists and history enthusiasts. Visitors can explore the remains of the castle and learn about its history through informational signs and displays. The castle is also a popular spot for photography, and many visitors come to capture the beauty of the ruins against the backdrop of the surrounding countryside. Despite its ruined state, Hadley Castle remains an important part of Shropshire's history and a testament to the skill of the medieval builders who constructed it.
