Hotspur Tower

Situated in the centre of Alnwick, Hotspur Tower is a striking landmark that drivers can still pass directly through today. Also known as Bondgate Tower, this ancient gateway formed part of the town's main defence walls and was finished in 1480 by the 4th Earl of Northumberland under licence from Edward IV. Taking its name from the Earl's grandfather, Hotspur, the tower remains an impressive survivor of the settlement's 15th-century fortifications.
