Northumberland has more castles than any other county in England. From mighty castles that tower over towns, to once-grand, romantic ruins, Northumberland boasts over 70 castle sites for you to explore.
With a legacy of a turbulent history, they're scattered along our coastline, perched on rugged islands, and sitting in the hearts of cobbled market towns.
See impressive castle ruins like Dunstanburgh Castle, fully restored sites that dominate the Northumberland coast, visit Alnwick Castle (image above) where you can ‘fly’ a broomstick just like Harry Potter, and take a ghost tour around both the castle and the grounds of Chillingham Castle.
