Cockle Park Tower
Cocklepark Tower is in the hamlet of Cockle Park, Northumberland, England some 4 miles (6 km) to the north of Morpeth.
This was a three-storied tower-house which was built in the 15th century as a hunting lodge.[1] It was later extended by the addition of a domestic building. It was being used as a student's hospital until the mid–1970s at which time major structural problems became apparent.[1] The University of Newcastle is planning to develop this building as part of the overall development of Cockle Park farm into the Centre for Renewable Energy from Land (CREEL).[2]
Cockle Park Tower is a Grade 1 listed building.[3]
