Old Mulgrave Castle is a medieval enclosure castle situated in North Yorkshire, England, which underwent significant landscape integration during the eighteenth century. The castle comprises an earthwork enclosure typical of Norman fortifications, representing a substantial medieval defensive structure within the wider Mulgrave estate. During the Georgian period, the castle remains were incorporated into the planned landscape design of the estate, reflecting the contemporary antiquarian interests of the landowners and their desire to integrate historical features within fashionable landscape aesthetics. The site remains a notable example of how medieval fortifications were preserved and repurposed as ornamental and historical features within the designed landscapes of the Georgian era.
