On the south bank of the River Tweed amongst green meadows, lies Norham Castle. This Grade-I listed castle was built from 1099 to 1128 under Ranaulf Flambard, Bishop of Durham. Over the centuries, the castle has been invaded, witnessed many battles and changed ownership many times.

The castle is open daily from April to October and entrance is free. You can find out more information, here: english-heritage.org.uk/visit/places/norham-castle/#beforeyougo

On the south bank of the River Tweed amidst green meadows stands this old castle ruin. It dates back to 1121. It was built in the border area to protect against attacks by the Scots. The castle was taken several times by the Scots, but partly returned to the English.

You can find out about the exact history of the castle during a visit. It is open daily from the beginning of April to the end of September from 10am to 5pm.
