Description: South Cowton Castle, North Cowton, North Yorkshire, England The castle stands on a low hill amidst quiet pastoral countryside. It was built for Sir Richard Conyers in 1487, which is very late for a true castle [which it is not]. The building is more of a country house with defensive capabilities - rather like that of Nappa Hall in Wensleydale (grid reference SD 966 907) which is of similar age.
