Whorlton Castle is a ruined medieval castle situated near the abandoned village of Whorlton (at grid refence NZ4802) in North Yorkshire England. It was built in the early 12th century as a Norman motte-and-bailey associated with the nearby settlement. The castle is an unusual example of a motte and bailey that remained in use throughout the Middle Ages and into the early modern period.
