Hulne Priory, 13th-century Carmelite friary in Denwick, England
The stone ruins of Hulne Priory contain remaining walls, an infirmary structure, and defensive fortifications within the grounds of Hulne Park near Alnwick Castle.
The Carmelite order established this religious complex in 1242, selecting the location for its geographical similarity to Mount Carmel in the Holy Land.
Stone figures of friars, carved in the 18th century, stand within the priory walls as a reminder of the religious community that once inhabited this space.
Visitors can access the priory ruins on foot through Hulne Park's entrance on Ratten Row, though no dedicated parking facilities or visitor amenities exist on site.
The priory features the only surviving Carmelite infirmary in England and incorporates a 15th-century pele tower built for protection against Scottish border raids.
