Grade 1 listed building - English Heritage Building ID: 236942

Scheduled Ancient Monument Northumberland 3



Built by Earl Thomas of Lancaster between 1313 and 1322 - he was captured at the Battle of Boroughbridge as he attempted to flee royal forces for the safety of Dunstanburgh.



The fortress never recovered from the sieges of the Wars of the Roses and was badly decayed by the 16th C.



Placed into the guardianship of the state in 1930. The surrounding golf course dates from 1900.



Now owned by the National Trust and run by English Heritage.



A nearby stone quay remains from a harbour built to serve the castle.



Generally open to the public for a fee, (weekends only Nov-Feb)
