Whittingham, Northumberland

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A village on the River Aln, with an ancient Saxon church (somewhat hidden beneath well-intentioned Victorian remodeling). It was at Whittingham in 684 AD that Cuthbert of Lindisfarne was elected Bishop. In the village is Whittingham Tower, a late 13th century fortified pele, now a Grade II listed building. The tower was converted to an almshouse in 1845. Near Whittingham is Callaly Castle, a 17th century fortress incorporating a 15th century pele tower.
