On my way home from dropping the Missus off at Royal Stoke Hospital, I googled “Castles near me” and it came up with this place. Even with maps, it was a hard place to find using the postcode. Hidden from the road, despite being less than 30m from it. Anyway, a short vid for me so enjoy. 
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.
