Preston Tower

Preston Tower is a 14th-century Pele tower located in Preston, Northumberland. It is now a private museum. The tower was built between 1392 and 1399 when warfare between England and Scotland was endemic.

Some of the rooms in the tower have been furnished as they may have looked in the 14th century giving visitors a vivid impression of its use at the time. There are also displays and information about the lives of the people who once lived here.

On the ground floor, you can visit the guard room and the prison. The first floor has a bedroom and a living room. On the second floor, there is the Flodden room which tells you more about the battle of Flodden. It also houses the clock mechanism of the tower. Once at the top, you can enjoy spectacular views over the surrounding countryside.
