Croft Castle

   Also found in: Wikipedia 0.03 sec.

Croft Castle

Castle situated northwest of Leominster, Herefordshire, England. The castle and 555-ha/1,371-acre estate were bought by the National Trust in 1957 with the aid of a government grant. The ancient walls and corner towers remain, but the building was modified in the 16th, 17th and 18th centuries.

Croft Ambrey, an Iron Age hill fort with spectacular views, lies to the north of the castle.

The Croft family has lived here since the time of the Domesday Book except for 170 years after 1750 when the estate was sold; the family bought it back in 1923.
