CHILLINGHAM CASTLE – A PERFECT DAY OUT
Visitor Information
The castle and gardens are now closed for the season and will re-open from 1st April – 5th November 2023.
Just 20 minutes from the seaside, Chillingham Castle, it’s Gardens, Lakes and Parklands, Castle State Rooms, Dungeon and the Torture Chamber will also be open.
Sir Humphry Wakefield has produced a room-by-room guide, which can be purchased on arrival at admissions priced at £2.50.
We regret there is very limited disabled access. The castle may not be suitable for anyone with mobility difficulties, due to uneven floors and steep spiral staircases. To access the toilets and tearoom, spiral stone steps with a rope handrail also need to be negotiated.
Dogs are not allowed in the castle or grounds with the exception of Guide and Assistance Dogs.
Finding Us
Clearly marked from the Alnwick/Berwick A1. Ignore first sign Chillingham/North Charlton and take the Chatton/Wooler road, a few hundred yards north of the Purdy Lodge/Bamburgh turn. At night, follow signs at Chillingham Village to Wild Cattle/Castle side entrance. We are clearly marked from the Newcastle/Wooler A697 (nearer to Wooler and also marked from Wooler). For a short cut from Alnwick to Chatton, take the Wooler road from Alnwick.
Enter through Main Gates . Free parking signposted. Disabled parking is adjacent to the castle.
