Ripley Castle is a Grade I listed 14th-century country house in Ripley, North Yorkshire, England, 3 miles (4.8 km) north of Harrogate.[1]
The house is built of coursed squared gritstone and ashlar with grey slate and stone slate roofs. A central two-storey block is flanked by a tower at one end and a three-storey wing at the other.[2] A gatehouse which stands some 260 feet (80 m) to the south of the main buildings is also Grade I listed,[3] whilst the two weirs over Ripley Beck (and the bridges that straddle them) are grade II listed and the grounds and gardens are also listed at grade II.[4][5][6]
The castle has been the seat of the Ingilby baronets for centuries. In June 2024 it was announced that it was to be sold.
