Gorgeous place – thanks for the visit, as have always wanted to go there. Extraordinary continuity to its history as well, which is rare for such buildings … Look forward to your next visit (and Hotspur!).

I really should get back to walking again. I stopped after the foot and mouth outbreak and never got back into it!

There’s quite a history to the Percy family.

The inside of this castle is quite warm and homely. It is still lived in too, which is good

I like the way the current Duke and Duchess have made the place interesting and welcoming for visitors. The revenues enable the castle to be preserved for future generations to enjoy.

Yes I had forgotten that it was lit by hydro-electric, before I wrote the post. The famous place in the area for hydro-electrics is Cragside.

Glad you found the post interesting
