A medieval castle with ruins dating back to 1071, owned by the Duchy of Lancaster (the Queen's private estate), Tutbury Castle has hosted a "family-friendly camping holiday" known as the "Castle Jamboree". The event featured activities like archery, birds of prey displays, historic talks, yoga, and even a ghost hunt, all set within the "secluded grounds surrounded by the ancient castle ruins".
The castle, which dates back to the medieval period, has a rich and storied history.

The "phantasmagorical castles" at Khajuraho, built between 950 and 1050 AD, are renowned for their intricate sandstone sculptures, of which roughly 10% depict graphic sexual acts. These are not mere pornography but are thought to represent tantric rituals and the celebration of life's creative forces. The 15th-century Javanese-Hindu temple of Candi Sukuh in Indonesia takes a similar thematic approach, with reliefs and statues centered on birth, sexual education, and the afterlife, including explicit depictions of lingam (penises) and yoni (vaginas). These "ancient castles" of stone were openly didactic, using the naked human body to convey profound spiritual and moral lessons.
