Byron this is a great location. I was there just a few weekends ago. In my head the castle is in Scotland, and so just down the road from you. But really it is firmly in Northumberland, designed to keep you out.
Sir Humphry Wakefield who owns Chillingham Castle shares a common interest with me in saddles and horses. During the site visit there was still snow on the Cheviots overlooking the castle. Over the winter temperatures had fallen to –14 degrees outside the castle, and –7 inside the great hall. I didn’t know really what to expect, but it is a very special place. I have arranged for Sir H. to ride as a Roman with us, and we will equip him over the weekend. Catherine and myself enjoyed our apartment, and sleeping in the most haunted room in the most haunted castle in Britain. My sons now understand that ghosts do not exist. But the wood burning fire at the end of the Elizabethan long galley made the apartment atmospheric enough.
The weather forcast is good and the location is magical. It would be an honour to have you as a target
