Dobroyd Castle is an important historic building above the town of Todmorden, West Yorkshire, England.[1] It was built for John Fielden, local mill owner and son of Honest John Fielden the Social Reformer and MP.[2]
The building has had a varied past. First built as an extravagant mansion house, then it was used as a school, it then became a Buddhist Retreat centre and the building is currently used as an Activity Centre (Known as Robinwood) for Primary School Groups.[1] The castle has 66 rooms and is Grade II* listed.
