Ripley castle has been home of the Ingilby family for nearly 700 years. During your visit you will learn how they survived wars, political and civil unrest, plague and pestilence and religious persecution. The story is fascinating and enthralling for all ages. Explore the beautiful walled gardens and deer park and enjoy a walk around the lake, over bridges and waterfalls. There are excellent facilities including wonderful shops, tearooms and the much-acclaimed Boar’s Head Hotel.
