| At first a 12th century stronghold, Chillingham became a fully fortified Castle in the 14th century. Steeped in the Nation's history it occupied a strategic position during Northumberland's bloody border feuds, often besieged and frequently enjoying the patronage of royal visitors. In Tudor days there were additions but the underlying Medieval character, detail and strength have always been retained.
The great hall will be venue to the main workshops, warmth provided by log fires as required. Breakouts may be held in such as the Minstrels Hall, and attempted from the dungeons or torture chamber. Accommodation is in comfortable, spacious and gracious apartments with original features, antiques and works of art. Charming local alternatives are available for those worried by the ghosts. |
