Edlingham Castle is a ruined castle in Northumberland. It has been described as one of the most interesting in the county by Nikolaus Pevsner. It dates mainly from the 14th century although a manor house of the 13th century is probably concealed beneath the later building. The earliest standing remains are those of the hall house built about 1300 by Sir William Felton. The castle was abandoned as a dwelling in the mid-17th century and by the 1660s was being quarried for building stone. At the end of the 19th century only the tower was still visible amid grassy mounds. Since 1975 the remains have been in the guardianship and ownership of the state. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
