The castle is not open to the public and is clearly in a poor state of repair. However, the Hopton Castle Preservation Trust, with help from the National Lottery and other sources, aims to make the structure safe and open it to the public. http://www.hoptoncastle.org.uk/ http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/shropshire/6233645.stm
