MenuHaughton Castle, Northumberland
Haughton Castle is a country mansion in Northumberland. It was built originally in the 13th century as a tower house and enlarged and fortified in the 14th century. At this time the castle was owned by Gerald Widdrington. It fell into disrepair but was subsequently improved. Part of the castle served as a hospital during the Second World War. It is now an oblong tower house and one of the best-preserved hall houses in the north of England. Some commentators suggest it is the location for the traditional song Waters of Tyne. It is within the council area of Northumberland.
