NZ 165-728 Northumberland England
Vicar's Pele is a small three storey stone pele-tower, founded in 1400, by the
vicars of Ponteland. Once part of a manorial complex, this gaunt shell shows signs
of a gabled roof on the west wall and the evidence of numerous later alterations
and repairs. Nearby in Ponteland is the Blackbird Inn and
7 miles north-west is Belsay Castle.
Vicar's Pele is located in the rectory garden Ponteland, off West Road. 8 miles north-west of Newcastle upon Tyne, on the A696.
The site is freely accessible in daylight hours.
There is a car park nearby.
