Whorlton is a hamlet and civil parish in North Yorkshire, England. It is very near Swainby and the A19, and 6 miles south west of Stokesley. Features include the remains of Whorlton Castle and the Church of the Holy Rood. [2] [3]

Whorlton Castle was built by Robert de Meynell as a typical 12th century motte and bailey Norman castle. A gatehouse was added in the 14th century. The only remains visible today are the grade I listed gatehouse and traces of the grade II* listed undercrofts (or cellars) of the main building. Due to vandalism access to the site is restricted. [4] [5] [2]

From 1974 to 2023 it was part of the Hambleton District. It is now administered by the unitary North Yorkshire Council.
