Hemyock Castle is a privately-owned residential site and a scheduled ancient monument. It is only open to the public on special open days on Bank Holiday Mondays (2 to 5 pm) between Easter and September.

On open days, visitors can view the substantial remains of Hemyock Castle’s towers, walls, moat, grounds; and visit its display areas.

The remains of the moated, rare, late 14th-century castle surround a much older manor house. During the English Civil War in the 17th century, the castle was garrisoned for parliament. The Royalists attacked twice, eventually besieging and capturing Hemyock Castle. Afterwards, the castle was slighted (destroyed). Subsequently the site evolved to become a farm, and later a private home. Former outbuildings have also been converted into homes.
