What is recorded here
Edlingham Castle is a 13th-century ruined fortified castle in Northumberland, England, built in 1174 by John De Edlingham and later owned by the Felton family. Sir William De Felton bought the manor in 1295, and his son continued renovations from 1340 to 1350, enlarging the structure until it fell into disrepair in the 17th century. Today the public can visit for free during daylight hours, walking a grassy path to explore the scenic solar tower and muddy grounds that once echoed with the footsteps of prominent knights and nobles.
Edlingham Castle is shown as a castle on the public map of Northumberland. The saved point is the map point or the centre of its mapped shape.
Edlingham Castle was built in the late 13th century by the powerful Percy family, who held it as a strategic stronghold in Northumberland. It is important as a historic seat of the Earls of Northumberland and for its well-preserved medieval architecture.
