The History Of Riber Castle - Built in the 1860's by local industrialist John Smedley for his own use, Riber Castle like many large private houses had it's heyday before seeing a slow decline. Riber was turned into a boarding school in the late 1800's before becoming derelict after the Second World War. The castle, also known locally as Smedley's Folly was listed Grade II in 1950 by English Heritage. A wildlife park was run from the castle grounds until 2000. When the current owners purchased the castle in 2001 only the external walls remained, and the building structure was at risk and described as being a ruin.

About This Property - A true labour of love, the conversion of Riber Castle has been the mission of one local family for over a decade. Today, Riber's future is once again secured for future generations to look on at this iconic building and for a lucky few to call their home.
