Dilston Castle, 15th century tower house in Dilston, England

The three-story stone tower stands near Corbridge with squared walls, stone dressings, and remains of its original medieval construction visible throughout the structure.

Sir William Claxton constructed the castle in the 15th century, which later became part of the Radcliffe family estate through marriage in 1621.

The castle and its adjacent Catholic chapel represent the architectural preferences of English nobility during the Tudor and Stuart periods.

Visitors can access the castle grounds by taking the B6529 from Corbridge, turning onto the A695, and following the B6307 to the entrance.

The Greenwich Hospital received control of the property after the execution of the last Earl of Derwentwater for his participation in the 1715 rebellion.
