Skipsea Castle

Actually just a mound but with rich history. You can stop by if you have time. Here is some background. Skipsea Castle was built around 1086 by Drogo de la Beuvrière, a Norman lord, on top of what is now known to be a large Iron Age mound—possibly the largest of its kind in Britain. Originally a timber motte-and-bailey structure, it served as a strategic administrative centre for the Lordship of Holderness and was intended to defend against potential Danish threats.

Nice place but temper expectations as it is essentially just a hill. Knowing what's under your feet and the great views makes it well worth visiting but don't expect any visible ruins. Be prepared to negotiate your way through cow pats and bring good shoes, not very accessible to anyone unable to walk. There is no dedicated parking and on road parking is sparse. If you can make it to the top you'll enjoy the view, but beyond that you'll need some imagination to see the castle.

The site of a Norman motte-and-bailey castle, constructed circa 1086 as the stately residence and administrative centre of the lords of Holderness. The castle fell into disuse after 1200, and was destroyed in 1221. Now only the motte (mound) remains. Still impressive, though, especially if you use your imagination. And, great views from the top. Free to visit; accessible 24hrs.

Beautiful and peaceful area. Nice bit of history to enjoy along with a lovely walk. Not too many places to park up for, so be wary of that

Iron age burial mound and also was a motte and Bailey castle , bit steep getting up to the top but once you're up there the views are amazing.... lovely and peaceful with the cows grazing nearby
