A castle in Yorkshire which has been featured twice on Channel 4's Grand Designs is for sale.

In a favourite project of the TV show's presenter Kevin McCloud, the vendors restored seven-bedroom Hellifield Peel Castle, on the southern edge of the Dales near Skipton, from a total ruin.

It is currently run as a B&B - television presenter Linda Barker and her family rented the whole place for a private weekend party before Christmas.

A modern living space with an intriguing history, Peel Tower itself dates from 1305 and was built by one of the last Templar Knights, Sir John Harcourt.

King James II is also believed to have hidden at Hellifield Peel Castle during the English Civil War.

It is listed with Carter Jonas for £1.65 million.
