Danby Castle is a quadrangular castle situated in North Yorkshire, England, dating from the fourteenth century. The castle was built by the Danby family and later passed to the Neville family, becoming a significant fortified residence in the moorland landscape of North Yorkshire. The structure comprises four ranges of buildings arranged around a central courtyard, a layout characteristic of late medieval English castles of defensive and administrative purpose. Today the castle survives as substantial ruins, retaining elements of its stone walls and towers which testify to its original strength and importance as a noble stronghold in the northern territories.
