Originating from the 14th century, Lumley Castle is a Grade I-listed building and the property of the Early of Scarborough. Today, this marvellous building is a 73 bedroom hotel and forms the backdrop to Durham County Cricket Club's Riverside Ground. The venue hosts weddings and other special events throughout the year.

Not exactly a castle, history shows it was a manor house with the turrets built later. Good walks in the woods behind the building.
