Tower house built in 1341, and briefly occupied by the Scots in 1513 before the Battle of Flodden. It lost its military value after 1603 but remained a tumbledown dwelling until the 18th century, then fell derelict.
Etal Castle is a ruined medieval fortification in the village of Etal, Northumberland, England. It was built around 1341 by Robert Manners, and comprised a residential tower, a gatehouse and a corner tower, protected by a curtain wall. The castle was involved both in local feuding and the border wars between England and Scotland. There was a battle between the rival Manners and Heron families outside the walls in 1428, and in 1513 it was briefly captured by King James IV of Scotland during his invasion of England.

This was built in 1278 but the present building is a Tudorbethan mansion of 1694. You can peak in through the castle gates but since 1956 it's been a residential centre for young people's outdoor activities, no tours.
