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.

Wonderful hidden gem in some stunning countryside. Very quite during the week. We had the site to ourselves as we walked around. Definitely worth a visit

This ruin is free and 11th century church nearby has info boards about church and castle. Gentle 3min walk from church takes you to castle..fine views of ruin with disused railway viaduct in background. Can wander over what's left of Manor house ruins and view defensive tower. Church has large folder of favourite sharing recipies free of charge idea being goid to share something of joy with others. Back to castle well worth a visit..quiet and can imagine its past life

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.

Lovely Castle ruins with great views in every direction. Like the fact you can walk around the grounds and get a real feel of somewhere. The church and viaduct are worth a look around while your there. Going to walk the the ridge next time I'm there and chekc out the Crags.

We stopped here on the way back to Longframlington from Newton On The Sea. We could see the castle from the road and wanted to go and have a look. Be a bit careful on your approach to the junction from the road as it comes up quite quickly and caused my wife a bit of confusion 🤣 The short drive to the castle was pleasant and there is a small, free, parking area by a church (which was unfortunately closed) before a short and easy walk to the ruins. There is no entry fee. We were lucky enough to be the only people there and it was a lovely place to visit. Information boards gave us insight into the castle's history as we wandered around. Part of the ruins are fenced off due to unstable masonry so be careful on your way around. We didn't stay long as the site is small but it was a welcome break from the journey and an interesting insight into the history of the area.
