Chillingham Castle

Chillingham Castle, a 13th-century Grade 1 star listed fortress in Northumberland, is rich in history and legendary battles. With grand rooms, gardens, lakes, and tea rooms, its royal lineage dates back to the 1200s.

Just 20 minutes from the coast, it’s perfect for short breaks or family days out. For a spookier visit, explore the Torture Chamber or join one of England’s most haunted Ghost Tours.
