The castle is 3 miles (5 km) south of Haydon Bridge, in Northumberland, England.[2] Langley Castle is a Grade I listed building. The property switched ownership several times over hundreds of years until the Langley Castle was finally built in 1364. The castle was built in an H shape with four floors and has four towers on each corner. The castle has several other unique architectural features. After being severely damaged by a fire in 1405, Langley Castle was left in ruins for 500 years until it was restored in 1914.
