The castle features massive stone walls, defensive towers, and State Rooms that display Renaissance art collections and military exhibitions.
Built in 1096 by Yves de Vescy, the castle became the residence of the Percy family in 1309, serving as a defense against Scottish invasions.
The State Rooms contain paintings by Titian, Van Dyck, and Canaletto, representing centuries of European art collection by the Percy family.
