Although you can't visit at the moment we thought we'd share some springtime pictures for you to enjoy.

Daffodils! Our portcullis and south curtain wall, built by the Delaval family in the 1790s...! Ford Castle is such a history lesson through architecture #castles #chateau #northumberland #NorthEast Ford & Etal #medieval

The medieval North West Tower where James IV of Scotland may have spent the night before the battle of Flodden in 1513. Also the tower where Edward I (Longshanks) stayed in his campaign against the Scots #castles #medieval #northumberland #NorthEast Ford & Etal

What a great place for a residential trip.

Loving the Lavender! #northumberland #NorthEast #castles Ford & Etal

Ford church, outside our portcullis and slightly older than us, we think. It's some view to the Cheviot... #northumberland #NorthEast Ford & Etal

Ford Castle Ford & Etal And here's one from later in the year (November) with Ford Castle in the background somewhat hidden by trees.

Is that the Parson's Tower in the foreground? Very atmospheric!

Our Flag Tower and Courtyard looking to the Cheviot. Nice Oubliette underneath the Flag Tower, too. Not so nice if you're in it 😐 #northumberland #NorthEast Ford & Etal
