Edlingham Castle, Medieval fortification in Edlingham, England
The stone ruins of Edlingham Castle include a hall house with octagonal corner turrets and a solar tower situated beside the Burn river.
William de Felton transformed the original manor house into a fortified structure during the 14th century amid conflicts between England and Scotland.
The castle represents the evolution of medieval domestic architecture in Northern England, reflecting the changing needs from peaceful residence to defensive stronghold.
Visitors can access the castle grounds free of charge during daylight hours, with parking spaces available at the neighboring church of St John the Baptist.
The solar tower displays a notable structural crack extending through multiple floors while maintaining its stability as the tallest remaining section.
