Accommodations in Corby near Rockingham Castle (Corby, United Kingdom)
Rockingham Castle (Corby, United Kingdom)
Rockingham Castle was built 900 years ago for Richard the Conqueror and sits on the top of a ridge of hills giving views of the valley beyond, across five different counties. Despite its address being listed as Market Harborough (a very attractive market town) it’s actually closest to the industrial town of Corby and visitors would do better to follow road signs to Corby rather than Market Harborough The Watson family who own the castle have lived there for 450 years and only one other family owned the castle before them. The grounds and castle are open in the summer months - roughly from Easter to the end of September. Between Easter and the end of May they are only open on Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays (of which there are two in May). From June to September they are open on Tuesdays, Sundays and Bank Holiday Mondays. Opening hours are 12 noon to 5 pm. If you can form a group of 20 or more visitors, they will open on additional days by prior appointment - there are links on the website to arrange such visits. On open days the entry price is £7.50 for adults, £6.50 for Old Aged Pensioners and £4.50 for children up to 16 years of age. Dogs are welcomed in the gardens but not in the castle. Special events such as Christmas Fayres and Craft Shows are held periodically - check the website for details. The castle is also available for weddings and other private functions.
