    Perched atop a green mound next to the sea, Bamburgh Castle is one of the most impressive castles in the UK. Built as early as the 5th century, the castle has witnessed many important eras of history – from the era of Anglo-Saxons to the Vikings, and Normal rule to the Second World War.

    In 1894, Victorian Industrialist William Armstrong purchased the castle. His family still own it. You can visit the castle from 11am - 4.30pm daily. Tickets cost £11.25 per adult. You can find more information, here: bamburghcastle.com

    Bamburgh is a beautiful fortified castle on the North Sea coast with a very medieval feel. Beautiful up close and from a distance, especially around sunset.
