Twizell Castle, Medieval castle ruins in Duddo, England

The rectangular stone structure contains four vaulted rooms along the south front and features circular towers at each corner of the building.

Originally documented in 1415 as Twysill under Sir John Heron's ownership, the castle suffered destruction by Scottish forces in 1496.

The castle represents a fusion of medieval architecture and eighteenth-century Gothic Revival design, incorporating elements from different periods.

Visitors can observe the castle ruins from a public footpath that passes near the structure, offering views of the River Till.

The basement rooms feature specialized stone and brick vaults, constructed specifically to ensure protection against fire damage.
