Historic Hotels in Northumberland and near Newcastle: Berwick upon Tweed, Alnwick and more

Chillingham Castle. Alnwick.

Anyone attempting to create a mental image of the typical English castle may find themselves picturing something closely resembling Chillingham - the place even has a torture chamber.

Dating back to the 12th century, the building was fully fortified in the 14th. By the 18th century, however, the time of feuds and danger had passed and the grounds one sees today were landscaped.

The interior of the castle is equally impressive as its exterior. The James 1st drawing room commemorates the monarch’s visit in 1617, while the oldest room in the building, the Edward 1st Room, similarly pays homage to the visit of “Longshanks” in 1298.

The other notable historic guest to have stayed at Chillingham is Henry III in 1255.
