We were advised to go see the tower by George at Preston house b&b, excellent little place to visit loads of history and you can also walk the grounds which are very well kept. The view from the top has to be worth the climb up the internal wooden stair case.

Preston Tower is worth a visit (takes less than an hour) if you are in the area. It provides a wonderful example of a non-castle fortification built to protect citizens from an enemy attack. Visitors are on the "honor system" to pay for the tower guides. We found it to be interesting and are glad we stopped by.

What a delightful find! curious and very historic! privately owned and well maintained. Good historical notes and parallels mentioned in each room - gives humanity to a pile of stones!

marvellous and 2 minutes walk from the best B&B in Northumberland Preston House. the host Debbie and George will make your stay feel like a 5 star break at aa fraction of the cost in a truly beautiful family home with a very warm and friendly atmosphere

Lovely little trip out, very small attraction and not a day out by any means but wonderful building lovingly cared for by its' current owners........one for history lovers!

This was very interesting and educational. All the informative information around the walls were excellent. You can climb right to the top and even the clock still works. You make a donation when you walk in and well worth a look around the tower and the gardens.

We were cycling near by and decided to check this place out. We were impressed with the tower and the surrounding gardens. The tower has some great nooks and crannys to explore and the working clock will make you jump if it chimes when you're in the tower. Its so peaceful and secluded, we thoroughly enjoyed our visit. £2 per... More

It's a small tower but full of information about life in the 14th century. Some of the rooms are furnished to show how they would have been used then (e.g. a spinning wheel; a child's tiny cradle). Great view from the top too (take your camera).

lovely walk great views. A must if you want to see the landscape from above
