Boston Castle

Originally built as a shooting lodge by the Earl of Effingham, Boston Castle is a square, two-storied building standing on one of the highest points in Rotherham. The Castle is a Grade II listed building that has been recently restored to its former glory, with the addition of modern visitor facilities. It stands in the grounds of Boston Park, an eight hectare park with an attractive garden area and large open area for recreation. The Castle has a viewing platform offering panoramic views of Rotherham and Sheffield, which you can access for a small charge. Access to the viewing platform is only available by appointment, and flat shoes must be worn. As well as Boston Castle itself, a range of exciting events and activities are staged throughout the season. On-site car parking and toilet and baby changing facilities are also available.
