The Chillingham Estate is home to one of the eeriest and most atmospheric castles you will stumble across on your journey around Northumberland. Said to be the most haunted in Europe, the fortification is formed of four intimidating square-angled towers which enclose around a central courtyard. Roaming the 365-acre grounds are one of the world’s rarest animal – a fascinating herd of wild cattle that have survived here at Chillingham without human interference for the last 700 years.
