About Bagots Castle

Bagot's Castle is a 14th century castle in the village of Baginton, and a wonderful day out for all the family. The surviving ruin that can be seen is of a late 14th-century house, but it is not well known because of its location in an area of woodland on private land. No earthworks or ruins survive of the 12th-century motte and bailey.
