Imposing stronghold on the bank of the river Tweed just outside Englands most northerly village. Several information boards give an insight to it's construction and historical events. Unfortunately much is fenced off and inaccessible. We mostly had this to ourselves to explore and take pics to our hearts content! Most of the gates are closed to enter. There is parking at one of the closed entrances, as well as parking at the open entrance - each with a few spaces each. It is to enter and no staff are on (nor facilities). There is a second floor that you can go up to. Great Great old to explore , steeped in history and violence. Parking location is a little out of the way ( for those with disabilities), worth dropping guests off at entrance. Castle grounds are undulating, with some mildly steep inclines , and stairs to the upper level in the . No toilets , but parking and to Norham . Nice little ruin of a with lots of good information boards around the site. When we visited there were some areas minced off due to preserving areas for renovation. We were not able to get over the bridge to the structure, which would have made this much better. However, a nice to visit. There was a small car park at the which is only a small easy from the castle. There are no toilets. Great little stop off, would love to come back once English Heritage have done the work to it. Is currently not fully accessible but still a good stop to look around. Potentially fantastic, but in the usual English Heritage style, the most interesting part is fenced off for the mysterious conservation work that never seems to happen. entry beautiful historic filled It's and much of it is behind barriers due to the concern that one could be injured by collapsing materials. But it's and historically fascinating. It was a nice castle. There were some informational signs that were interesting, but a lot of the to the was limited due to construction. A great to and around unfortunately for us we turned up there was barriers blocking entry to the across the bridge (which we only found out when we were direct in front of said barriers). We did manage to get inside by descending and climbing the inner mote. Not easy with a three year old and nine year, but was very disappointed that there were to signs at the entrance or car park. We were encountered a dog walker who said that the bridge had been closed for four months, surely ample time to fix up some kind of advance notices to avoid disappointment. Found what we thought might be a medieval or Tudor pottery shard dug in a mole hill, which was a added surprise. I have the knocked off of two stars, for the issues and lack of notice prior to arriving at the castle, I do however agree with other reviews the village of Norham is worth visiting. We visited here on a soft damp morning. It felt positively otherworldly. Very well labelled the are accessible and interesting. Many wildflowers thriving below the old Make sure you go through the doorway to the dark chambers underneath and also look up through the tower when you're going up the spiral staircase! Also some of the little out-crops don't look like much but have lovely views across the river or over the village. There is a sign saying the carpark gate closes at 4pm. To be honest I was expecting a bit of a sparse ruin but there was much to explore and great interpretive signage with illustrations. Lovely looking but unfortunately they currently have quite a lot of unsafe areas which are blocked off via metal fencing. The perimeter walkways are nice enough and there are still a few information boards with info to look at but to the isn't possible. Shame as I'm sure it would be nice to see the interior sections. I will again in future and see if more areas are accessible next time. The is limited. Google stated you can wander all over the site, there is building work ongoing so it is restricted. But it's still worth a visit, the gate entry is closed but it's still accessible via the very small carpark. Nice to see from afar, but officially closed to the public at the minute. You can get into the grounds unofficially... Nice day out, carpark is also. It would have been nice to go over the bridge of the Moat n into the or to through the gateway. There are signs saying that work will be taking place. It's still lovely to the grounds. Can't believe this is a totally attraction. We were looking for a cheap activity when we stumbled across this castle. It's a ruin but is actually quite large. Plenty of nooks and cranies to explore and plenty of space for a few kids/dogs/enthusiastic adults to run across. Car park is tiny, but it doesn't seem to get too busy. An absolute gem of a place. entry and parking, cannot inside the but great place to go for a around and observe from the outside, great info boards dotted around to read about the history. Probably spend no more than an hour here unless you bring a picnic as it is a lovely spot to sit and take in the view Stunning & beautiful ruin. Well worth a Great looking just a shame it's not completely accessible at the moment but worth a return when it is. I went on a pilgrimage. Turner painted one of his greatest paintings there. I can report that trees cover the view fo the castle, but it is such a serene place, along with the rest of the lower tweed valley. I ventured over the border. Views towards the Cheviots were glorious. Stunning, I've spent the last two days within the grounds. I am an amateur painter and Norham is a great subject. Each window is different and ouzes old charm. It amazes me just how much of the is still standing. And the pink tinge to the stonework. You can park at the easterly car park and around the grounds. However, they're are preserving the and several arches, there are fences to stop people walking into the building, understandably. Lots of information points. You don't need to pay or have English heritage membership currently. June 2024 English heritage but at the moment the part has no due to ongoing works with parking. Loads of information boards around the site. You can't go into the ruins, but there is plentt to see and learn about Quando siamo arrivate il sito era chiuso, c'erano molte persone quindi abbiamo parcheggiato e ci siamo avviate. Lo abbiamo visitato poiché è stato uno dei punti più importanti delle guerre di confine, grazie alla sua posizione che domina il fiume Tweed.
