The design will ensure everyone can enjoy this historical site, regardless of physical ability."By encouraging public transport and reducing car use, we’ll contribute to a greener future.The discovery of the foundations of a medieval castle at Soulton Hall "We believe Soulton Castle has the potential to become a cherished community hub, attracting visitors and fostering a deeper appreciation for the region’s history," said Mr Ashton."Private owners of heritage can get quite a bad rap, especially around the topic of public access to the land.
