With border war raging, life in Northumberland was dangerous between 1300 and 1600. Wealthy families like the Thirlwalls protected themselves by building strongholds like Thirlwall Castle. Built during the 12th Century using stones from the nearby Hadrian's Wall, the castle was abandoned after the border wars ceased. These days, you can step back in time at this spot, which is the perfect place for a picnic. The ruins are free to enter at all times.

Originally built in the 12th century, and later strengthened using stones from nearby Hadrian’s Wall, Thirlwall Castle began to fall into disrepair in the 17th century. The site is protected by Grade I listed building and Scheduled Ancient Monument status. In 1999, Northumberland National Park Authority acquired a 99-year lease on Thirlwall Castle and 10 hectares of adjacent woodland.
This is a great historic vista for the eyes for passing runners and why don't you come back for a picnic in the grounds when your not huffing and puffing so much.
