The owners of a Grade I listed castle have put it up for sale for the first time in 700 years - for an incredible £21m.

Lady Emma Ingilby and Sir Thomas Ingilby are putting Ripley Castle in North Yorks., which boasts turrets, a lake, secret passageways and even deer on the market.

The castle will also be sold with the estate, which includes a cricket pitch, a hotel, a village store, a shoot yard, a gift shop and tearooms.

The estate hasn't been sold in over 700 years and Sir Thomas inherited the property when he was 18.

King James I stayed at the property ahead of his coronation in 1603 while Oliver Cromwell stayed here for the The Battle of Marston Moor in 1944.
