Chillingham Castle is a 13th century stronghold in Northumberland. I cannot emphasise enough how stunning this place is. And it is chock full of really interesting antiques and historical artefacts, like letters from royalty such as Mary Queen of Scots, Edward the 1st of England, who executed William Wallace to death. There are even incredibly rare giant auroch antlers casually hanging above the tea room! I highly recommend buying the wee guidebook from the gift shop as you enter, as the sassy commentary from Sir Humphry Wakefield, the owner, are hilarious. Just make sure you don't insult the place or nick anything, as otherwise the Spanish Witch's curse will follow you!

A quirky, apparently haunted building that the children in your group will find particularly interesting. Can be done in conjunction with a visit to the famous cattle.

Fascinating, chilling history, in beautiful grounds. See the Chillingham wild cattle there.

This remarkable and very private castle has been continuously owned by just one family line since the 1200's. A visit from Edward I in 1298 was followed by many other Royal visits right down through the centuries. See Chillingham's alarming dungeons as well as active restoration in the Great Halls and State Rooms which are gradually brought back to life with tapestries, arms and armour. Chillingham even has a very real torture chamber. Named Britain’s most haunted historic castle, you can booked ghost tours. Chillingham also has the worlds only herd of wild cattle – separate tickets can be purchased to view them with a guide
