Langley Castle

Langley Castle is a 14th‑century H‑shaped medieval tower house in Langley, Northumberland, built in 1364 and restored in the early 20th century. The four‑storey stone building has major corner towers and a central upper‑floor hall; after centuries as a ruin it was restored and today functions as a hotel. The castle sits within a small woodland estate above the South Tyne valley.

The shape it held in its prime.

A compact H‑shaped, four‑storey tower house of pale sandstone built on large boulders, with a square tower at each corner and one small roof‑level turret; crenellated parapets and machicolation-like projections top the roofline. The east front has a pointed arched main entrance with a vertical portcullis slot and nearby roof boss. Walls show narrow slit and lancet window openings and the building sits amid lawn and tall trees in a river valley setting.
