Near the north end of the west wall, rising above the western end of the cliff, is the Lilburn Tower, named after John de Lilburn, who became constable in 1322. This was probably the residence of an important official: it was provided with fine windows and window seats. It commands an excellent view northwards towards Embleton beach and the rival castle of Bamburgh.
