Bamburgh Castle
Welcome to the Royal Seat of the Kings of Northumbria and our family home since 1894. Experience the sights, stories and atmosphere of over two thousand years of exhilarating history. This huge whinstone outcrop forced upwards by volcanic activity has witnessed a succession of crowns.
From wooden palisades to the present stone built fortress, the castle has kept watch over the coastline 150 feet below for many centuries.
These formidable stone walls have witnessed dark tales of royal rebellion, bloody battles, spellbinding legends, millionaire benefactors and ghosts who love this iconic building so much they’ll never leave.
We hope you enjoy the site and that we will see you soon, Francis Watson Armstrong.
