A 13th-century fortress situated in Northumberland, England, featuring a rectangular keep, curtain walls, and a surrounding moat, showcasing a mix of medieval architecture and picturesque countryside views.
Interesting ruined castle - worth going into the adjacent church to get information about them before walking down and having a wander around. The scenery is stunning with the church on one side and the old viaduct behind it. Well worth a visit and an easy walk from the carpark.
Nice ruins. Very pleasant to see. The little church next door was lovely too.x
Fascinating place. Church very interesting too.
What a fabulous place. Hidden away in beautiful countryside west of Alnwick and free entry. Parking is limited. A really interesting example of a Hall house with subsequent fortification, including the impressive solar tower. The adjoining church is worth a visit too. Highly recommended.
I wouldnt go out of my way to see this but it is a very atmospheric site if you are in the neighbourhood. There is an 11th century church to see also which is peaceful and quaint inside. Interesting to see how the castle is held up by tie-bars. English Heritage but no need to pay but you can donate if you wish.
This is such a lovely place to visit especially since its free! There is not loads of parking space available given that the entrance is just down a small lane but it doesn't seem to be a place that gets extremely busy. The ruins themselves are really impressive and you can see the metal pins they've put in to support the Solar Tower. The church is quaint and there is a beautiful stained glass window which looks amazing when the sun hits it. Really enjoyed our visit.
Wheelchair-accessible entrance
