Chillingham Castle

A mere 20 minutes from the seaside, Chillingham Castle is open to the public from Easter and through October for exploration of their Gardens, Lakes and Parklands, plus tours of the Castle State Rooms, Dungeons and Torture Chamber!

Maybe you will spot one of the ghosts reportedly seen here over the years, named the Blue Boy, Lady Mary Berkeley and the Torturer! If that's your thing then you can actually take a ghost tour here at 20:00 by arrangement, which not only covers the spookier areas of the house but also out in the grounds so keep an eye out for bats! There's no age limit attached so it's presumably pretty mild but give the obvious considerations to taking sensitive kids to such things.
