Northumberland Castles
Featherstone Castle
Situated on the banks of the river South Tyne, Featherstone Castle is a Grade 1 listed large gothic style mansion which I once had the pleasure of visiting in the middle of the night during a thunder storm to restore its power. An old white bearded man opened the big heavy oak door in the pitch black and lead me along the stone passage ways, past suits of armour and down to a basement where the meter board situated before leaving me alone to fix the fault. It's fair to say the hairs were standing up on the back of my neck!
