A 12th-century fortress situated in Northumberland, northeast England, Twizel Castle is a majestic ruin that stands atop a hill overlooking the River Till. Its stone walls, though partially crumbling, still exude a sense of grandeur, with remnants of towers, battlements, and a gatehouse. The castle's history dates back to the 12th century, with various modifications and additions made over the centuries, including a 14th-century keep and a 15th-century hall. Today, the castle remains a testament to the region's rich medieval heritage, offering breathtaking views of the surrounding countryside.
Lovely little site overlooking the river , high on the bank. Sadly, fenced of but it may not be too hard to enter for a peak inside if sensible.
Absolutely loved it. The path up was a little muddy but also added to the adventure. Amazing history.
Fantastic castle ruins and a lovely walk down to the river. Glad I've been and had a look and will definitely go bakc so I can see the viaduct and walk the river some more
Impressive castle, somewhat overshadowed by it's big brother to the East. To access, there is a small car park just off Twizel Bridge. From there, it's a short uphill walk along a mud-track. The castle is in a state of disrepair, and surrounding grounds are used for sheep fields. These sheep currently have small lambs, so suggest not bringing your dog.
Worth a look if you are in the area. There is a path leading up to it near the sign for twizel bridge. The castle is closed off.
Pretty sweet castle it has a small wire fence up but no signs saying do not enter. The bridge was pretty amazing too car park fits 2 cars at most great little stop between journeys.
