As an early defensive position dating back to Saxon times, Rockingham Castle has reward of being in a  magnificent setting, dominating the local landscape. The sweep of the lush parkland and meadows has replaced the dense forest of the Middle Ages and the years have mellowed the colours of the ironstone, while the sun's reflection off the limestone gives the Castle a luminous quality as it nestles into the hillside.

For centuries Rockingham Castle has entertained royalty and private guests within its ancient walls. The history and tradition continue today. Walker's House, within the original curtain wall of the Castle, provided a high standard of catering and the building has recently been refurbished to provide full conference facilities with meeting rooms, a conference room and dining room.
