About Bellingham Castle
Bellingham Castle is a historic site. Location: Bellingham, Northumberland.
Bellingham Castle was a motte and bailey fortress in Northumberland, founded by the De Bellingham family. Its remains lie 5 miles east of Dally Castle, near the village of Bellingham. There is no evidence to suggest that any fortification existed on the site before 1157, when the lands were granted as liberty to the King of Scotland.
