Exploring Edlingham Castle Ruins on Foot and by Drone

A narrated stroll and drone fly around of Edlingham Castle in Northumberland. In around 1300 a stone hall house was built by Sir William Felton. At around the same time the Anglo-Scottish wars were raging and many of the landed gentry fortified their homes. Felton was no exception, adding extensive fortification to the house and making it a formidable defensive stronghold. In around 1340 the magnificent Solar Tower was added at the southern end of the house. In the mid-17th century the house was abandoned as a dwelling. It fell into disrepair and much of its stone was cannibalised for other buildings. By the end of the 19th century only the solar tower was visible on top of a grassy mound. The low lying remains, which you see today, were later excavated by English Heritage. Despite now being called Edlingham Castle, it was not truly a castle – more of a fortified family home. Behind these walls there was no garrison of soldiers to fight off the marauding Scots; only a family and their servants trying to defend what was theirs. Filmed on 19th June 2024.
