Edlingham Castle
Recommended by
Overview
Don’t visit Edlingham Castle expecting massive ramparts. This former fortified manor house has seen better days since it stood as a stronghold against Scottish marauders in the 14th century, and one surviving wall leans alarmingly. It’s worth a look, if only as a reminder that not all the northeast’s castles are on the scale of Alnwick or Bamburgh.

About the area
If it’s history you’re after, there’s heaps of it in Northumberland. On Hadrian’s Wall you can imagine scarlet-cloaked Roman legionaries keeping watch for painted Pictish warriors while cursing the English weather and dreaming of home.
