Cockle Park Tower

The Cockle Park Tower , also Cocklepark Tower , is a residential tower in the village of Cockle Park , about 6.5 km north of Morpeth in the English county of Northumberland .

It is a three-story residential tower from the 15th century. An outbuilding was added later. The house was inhabited until recently, but is now in danger of collapsing.

The University of Newcastle plans to develop the building into a center for renewable energy from agriculture as part of the conversion of the farm in Cockle Park.
