This castle is one of the few remaining in England that is intact , its full of medieval gear such as swords,shields, suits of armour (some of them only 4ft 6 inches tall)very old paintings of the past inhabitants, and with cannons on the battlements, a place worth seeing on the North East coast of England.

I've just seen photos of it. It's incredibly stunning both inside and out. I would love to be able to explore it some day.
