Tips

Cycling

Overlooking the River Tyne, Bywell Castle was built by the Neville family in 1430, but never completed. Although now ruined, you can still visit the three-storey gatehouse and curtain wall. In 1464, the castle provided refuge to King Henry VI after the Battle of Hexham. Today, it is a grade I listed building.
