Bondgate Tower, a gatehouse constructed in the 15th century using sturdy stone, has three levels. It was built by the Earl of Northumberland. In 1434, King Henry V gave permission to build a protective wall around Alnwick, which took more than fifty years to finish.

At the front, there's a central archway for vehicles, flanked by two polygonal towers. Above the archway, you can still see the worn outline of the Percy Lion. It's also called "Hotspur Gate" and was originally one of four gates in the medieval town wall.
