Aydon Castle is a fortified manor house in Northumbria, England. Construction of a stone building to replace the original wooden structure was begun in 1296. Walls and other fortifications were added beginning in 1305 at the outbreak of Anglo-Scottish warefare. The castle consists of a "C" shaped building surrounding a small walled inner courtyard. Originally, another walled courtyard was attached at the west, and a curtain wall with a gate house and three towers surrounded a larger outer courtyard to the north. |
