Ford Castle

Our Flag Tower and Courtyard looking to the Cheviot. Nice Oubliette underneath the Flag Tower, too. Not so nice if you're in it 😐 #northumberland #NorthEast @FordandEtal

Is that the Parson's Tower in the foreground? Very atmospheric!

@FordCastleFun @FordandEtal And here's one from later in the year (November) with Ford Castle in the background somewhat hidden by trees.

Ford church, outside our portcullis and slightly older than us, we think. It's some view to the Cheviot... #northumberland #NorthEast @FordandEtal

@Bexwire @FordandEtal History is clearly our strongest suit...!

@FordCastleFun @FordandEtal It's heather!!

Loving the Lavender! #northumberland #NorthEast #castles @FordandEtal

@HillJunSch Thank you for your lovely letters that arrived earlier this week!!

What a great place for a residential trip.

Although you can't visit at the moment we thought we'd share some springtime pictures for you to enjoy.

The medieval North West Tower where James IV of Scotland may have spent the night before the battle of Flodden in 1513. Also the tower where Edward I (Longshanks) stayed in his campaign against the Scots #castles #medieval #northumberland #NorthEast @FordandEtal

Daffodils! Our portcullis and south curtain wall, built by the Delaval family in the 1790s...! Ford Castle is such a history lesson through architecture #castles #chateau #northumberland #NorthEast @FordandEtal #medieval
