Callaly Castle stands around 9 miles west of Alnwick. It's a Grade I listed building, although there's no public access. Architects divided the house into private apartments in 1987, and it has been a private residence ever since.

Did they really choose the location of Callaly Castle? Let's find out in this week's episode of Fabulous Folklore!
