  • Chillingham Travel Guide & City Information

Chillingham is tiny and yet it contains at leat three items of great interest. In ascending order these are the castle, the 15th century Grey family tombs in the church and the wild cattle. These last are a unique breed in the UK, supposedly evolved from our original native wild cattle. They are white and they live as wild animals. They are fierce and dangerous. They were once bred primarily for hunting but the last person to kill one in a hunt was the Queen's great-grandfather, King Edward VII.

Even if you are not thinking of a visit, you can learn a lot enjoyably from http://www.chillingham-wildcattle.org.uk/LoadFrame.htm
