About Ponteland Castle
Ponteland Castle is a historic site. Location: Ponteland, Northumberland.
Ponteland Castle, also known as Erringtons Tower or Castle of Aymer de Athol, is a 14th-century stone tower house just off the A696 road in Ponteland, 8 miles north-west of Newcastle upon Tyne, in Northumberland. It was built in the 14th century. Part of it was destroyed in a Scottish raid in 1388. It became part of a Jacobean manor house and was rebuilt by Mark Erington in the 17th century. It was ruined in 1935 when it was restored into a public house. The building is now occupied by the Blackbird Inn.
