Welcome to Chillingham

Chillingham is a small village located in Northumberland, England. It is known for its historic castle, Chillingham Castle, which dates back to the 12th century. The castle has a rich history and has been home to many notable figures throughout the years. Today, it is open to the public and offers tours of the castle and its grounds.

One of the most unique features of Chillingham Castle is its famous herd of wild cattle. These cattle are believed to be the last remaining wild cattle in the world and have been living on the castle grounds for over 800 years. Visitors can take a tour of the park and see the cattle up close, but are advised to keep a safe distance as they are still wild animals.

In addition to the castle and its cattle, Chillingham also offers beautiful scenery and outdoor activities. The village is located in the heart of Northumberland National Park, which is home to stunning landscapes and wildlife. Visitors can enjoy hiking, cycling, and fishing in the park, or simply take in the natural beauty of the area. Overall, Chillingham is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in history, wildlife, and the great outdoors.
