Rothley Castle is an 18th-century gothic folly built to resemble a medieval castle, situated at Rothley, Northumberland. It is a Grade II* listed building.[1]
It was designed in 1755 by architect Daniel Garrett for Sir Walter Blackett owner of Wallington Hall, from where it is visible on the hillside.[2] A genuine medieval tower, known as Rothley Tower (which stood nearby), was demolished, probably early in the 19th century.
Both Wallington and Rothley Castle are in the ownership of the National Trust.
