Bladon Castle is a folly, partly converted into a country house, located some 600 yards southwest of the village of Newton Solney in South Derbyshire, 1 mile northeast of Burton-on-Trent and close to the point at which the River Trent forms the boundary with Staffordshire.
The castle was originally built as a folly in a Neo-Gothic style by the architect Jeffrey Wyattville for Abraham Hoskins of Burton-on-Trent, grandfather of George Gordon Hoskins. Designed to give the appearance of a large castle with battlements, the structure was in reality little more than a single long wall.
