Huntington Castle

The castle is sited on a commanding position on the modern day England Wales border in what was the Welsh Marches in Norman and medieval times.

The eldest daughter of the family Mary de Bohun married Henry, Earl of Derby who was elevated to the rank of Duke of Hereford by Richard II, his cousin.

In 1403 he was killed at the Battle of Shrewsbury and possession passed to his widow, Anne, Countess of Stafford who then refortified the castle against Owain Glyndŵr.

Peace was restored to the Welsh Marches during the reign of King Henry V with its focus on conflict abroad with France.

The site is overgrown and is listed on Historic England's Heritage at Risk Register as poor condition.
