Elsdon Castle

We visited Elsdon Castle during the school's summer break during the middle of the week. Since we had just arrived, we decided to use an airport cab. I immediately began browsing for the best cab services. Then I got to this company that was providing cab services. I chose to take the cab because its prices were so much less expensive than those of other cab services. We were surprised to see the cab when it arrived on time because cab drivers regularly arrive fairly late. We found quite early in the drive that the cab was very lovely and reliable because the inside was pristine. The ride had been so pleasant and effortless that we were not aware that we had already reached our destination.

If you don't know where to search, Elsdon Castle may be difficult to locate. When we visited Elsdon, there were no signposts from the main highways through the town, but a little investigation quickly sent us in the proper direction. Then we went along the road that leads to the village hall. The lane appears to come to an end past the hall, but it is a driveway. The castle motte was on our left as we went up the road. As we continued up the driveway, a wooden gate leading onto the field with the motte was on your left. Just inside the gate was an informational panel from Northumberland National Park that includes a brief history of the location as well as an artist's rendering of what the castle would have looked like at its height. It was a difficult hike up to the top of the twin mottes and there were no clear pathways surrounding the location. A pair of sheep who fled when they noticed me approaching was the only company I had while perched atop the castle.

Then we went inside the castle and took a guide who told us some amazing historical facts about the castle. He told us that Robert de Umfraville, a relative of William the Conqueror, is thought to have erected the castle. On the border of his new kingdom's north, William desired a reliable person. He designated Umfraville as the Lord of Redesdale, exempted him from military service, and gave him responsibility for defending his domain against wolves and robbers. In Redesdale, the Umfravilles were a law unto themselves. They were given the authority to host fairs, appoint judges, administer justice, and hunt in regal forests. They effectively controlled the residents of Redesdale by wielding the power of life and death.

The Umfravilles built a circular motte with a wooden fortification on top at Elsdon. A wooden barrier was built atop the earthen bank, which served as protection for the bailey below the motte. There aren't many visible foundations, but a carved Roman stone that is thought to have been from Rochester's Roman camp was discovered there. Elsdon Tower, a vicar's pale or tower house erected in the 14th or 15th century and renovated in the 16th, is another building in the settlement. It might have been created by the de Umfrevilles as well. You can visit Elsden Castle whenever you like.
