The Ruined Castle is a rock formation in the Jamison Valley area of the Blue Mountains, in New South Wales, Australia.[1]
The Ruined Castle is an outcrop of large rocky boulders that lies halfway of a ridge that starts from Castle Head, off Narrow Neck Peninsula, to Mount Solitary. A local elevated point, it is projected from the surrounding bushland, and provides panoramic views of the area.[2]
