Walls, Harbottle Castle
The castle, which was started some time after 1157, was reconstructed in stone during the 13th century and extensively rebuilt in 1541. The earliest work is a motte and bailey castle, and is said to be the finest medieval earthwork in Northumberland. The ruins are Grade I Listed. In the background lie the rounded Cheviot Hills.
