Bellingham Castle, Medieval motte and bailey fortress in Northumberland, England
The remains of Bellingham Castle stand on a mound known as Hallsfield, with evidence of fortifications dating back to the medieval period.
The De Bellingham family constructed the castle during Richard II's reign, but lost all traces of fortifications by the 13th century.
The estate changed ownership from the De Bellingham family to the Derwentwater family before being granted to the Governors of Greenwich Hospital.
The castle site lies 5 miles east of Dally Castle near the village of Bellingham in the Northumberland countryside.
The land where Bellingham Castle stands was initially granted as liberty to the King of Scotland in 1157 before the construction of any fortification.
