View of the castle ruins, Presteigne, Radnorshire.

Stapleton Castle ruins, Presteigne.

Stapleton Castle is part medieval castle, probably built in the 12th century, and part Elizabethan Manor House which was part of remodelling in the 16th century.

It is not generally open to the public but the gardens are open on occasions.
