Weoley Castle is the remains of a fortified manor house located in the Birmingham district of Weoley Castle, a primarily residential area, in the English West Midlands. Owned by Birmingham City Council and administered as a community museum by Birmingham Museums Trust, it is a Grade II listed building[1] and a Scheduled Ancient Monument.[2]
The archaeological evidence suggests a Norman foundation for the site which was surrounded by a moat and bank topped by a timber pallisade.[3]
In 2015, with 5205 visitors, Weoley Castle became the least visited tourist attraction in England.[4]
