Bamburgh Castle

Bamburgh Castle is an imposing feature of the Northumberland Coastline.  From the castle there are views of the Farne Islands, Holy Island and the Cheviot Hills. My visit to Bamburgh was during a very short camping trip during the Summer of 2010, the weather was I would say normal for a summer in the North of England, mild with a fair few rain showers, we were lucky and although fairly grey the showers were limited. Visit Northumberland Website

The castle boasts a long history, with settlements on the site dating back to prehistoric times, archaeological digs often take place on the site. More recent history of the castle shows the castle hosted royal guests, including Edward IV who almost totally destroyed the castle in the War of the Roses. Lord Armstrong restored and saved the ruin and the castle still provides a home to his ancestors today.  Bamburgh Castle Website
