Lidgate Castle and Kirtling Towers

Today I decided to head out just a little further as I had to be in Newmarket for work purposes and stopped on the way home for a walk at Lidgate to visit the castle and nearby Kirtling Towers.

Large pond below the castle earthworks in Lidgate.

Lidgate Church.

Not much to see but this is the site of Lidgate Castle Motte and Bailey.

A fragment of upstanding wall remains in the church yard.

Kirtling Towers not too far off now.

Formal gardens around the moat.

Kirtling Towers. Sadly this was the best view I could get.
