Duddo Tower

Tower In Duddo, Northumberland

A ruined tower sitting on a crag just around the corner from the Duddo Stones.

Please note the tower is on private land land and there is no access to or near it without express permission. You can view the tower from the village below.

If you have visited the Duddo Stones coming north from Etal, then you may have spied the Duddo Tower up on the crags in the village.

It was originally a 15th century stone tower house and barmkin (Ok I had to Google that and it's a Scottish word for defensive enclosure), but only a fragment of it still remains.

It was built by the Clavering family and stood in a commanding position overlooking the village, but back in 1496, King James IV of Scotland destroyed it. It was then integrated into a L-shaped tower house and the remains that stand here today probably date to the late 16th century.

It's a listed building located on private land, so there is no access to it. You can see the tower from the village below.

Where To Park For Duddo Tower?

Contributed by Simon Hawkins

Thanks for checking out this place on the Fabulous North! I do enjoy a wander out in to the countryside trying to find hidden gems that not many people know about. You can't beat a rogue pele tower up a remote hill, a mysterious stone circle or a stunning waterfall secluded in a forest.
