Description

Prudhoe Castle occupies a naturally strong position guarding a vital crossing of the river Tyne. You’ll witness Prudhoe’s great strength as you approach via the barbican, passing the picturesque mill pond and crossing the inner ditch to the formidable gatehouse. Climb the steps to the atmospheric gatehouse chapel, explore the inner and outer baileys and look up at the towering keep.

A fine ‘Regency Gothic’ mansion within the walls was built as a ‘gentleman’s residence’. In its elegant, unfurnished rooms, you’ll find family-friendly displays tracing the stories of a fortress continuously occupied for more than nine centuries. There’s also a children’s activity room with games.

If you are looking for Best place for day out with kids and families then this is the perfect destination offering fun, adventure, and unforgettable memories for everyone.
