What to see

Days Out
Chillingham offers an outstanding day out in one of the most beautiful parts of Northumbria. First, you should come and see our truly wild cattle. These unique beasts fight for the chance to mate. Fights between bulls can be ferocious and it is not unusual for one to be badly wounded or even killed. The guided tours take you close, but not too close, to these extraordinary animals.Then visit “England’s most haunted castle” for lunch or coffee. Brace yourself for a terrifying tour of a real castle; fearsome torture chamber, eerie dungeon and magnificent state rooms. If you’re really brave, join a nerve-jangling night time ghost tour.

The Park
Until the 1980s Chillingham Park was the property of the family of the Earl of Tankerville, owners of Chillingham Castle. At one time this family owned 65000 acres in the UK, over 100 square miles. Now the estates have been broken up and sold and Chillingham Wild Cattle Association owns the historic Cattle Park of about 330 acres, together with the surrounding woodlands and, of course, the cattle herd.This is a beautiful parkland landscape, but it is not really natural! However, it fits with many people’s idea of beauty because it has been modified and maintained by humans.

Beasts
The Wild Cattle of Chillingham. The Wild Cattle of Chillingham are remarkable survivors of the ancient cattle which once roamed Britain’s forests. Today they live in the beautiful enclosed Park at Chillingham, between Alnwick and Bamburgh in Northumberland, their home for hundreds of years.
