There are many uses of the word castle for various buildings ranging from hunting lodges, fortified buildings and mansion houses, through to castles authorised by the Crown. Not all of the above buildings are actual ‘Castles’ authorised by the Crown.

Little is known about Haltwhistle Castle because other than some possible fortified bank remnants little remains although we do have Castle Hill and Drive.
