Raven Tower, on the grounds of the Grade II listed Hesleyside Hall in the heart of the Northumberland National Park, offers unique and imaginative holiday accommodation to the adventurous. Hidden from the public highway, with only glimpses of its fortified form as you follow the bend of the approaching road, it provides privacy and escapism to those wishing to explore this remote countryside.
Hailing the history of the area’s fortified keeps known as ‘pele towers’, the building can be commended for its simplicity of concept and careful execution. The architects have skilfully brought this project to life, celebrating local and sustainable materials and craftsmanship within its dark and defensive form.
