Bill Tennent's photos with the keyword: castle

A stone castle was built on the site of an earlier defended position from around 1095 to 1125 by Guy de Balliol. Between 1125 and 1185 his nephew Bernard de Balliol and his son Bernard II extended the building. The river through the window is the River Tees

Found my self climbing through Pelaw Woods today, due to a landslip along the riverbank. I had never seen this view of Durham City before, from the Cathedral to the ECML Viaduct with the River Wear and Castle all in one shot.
