WELCOME TO BAMBURGH CASTLE

No visit to Northumberland is complete without setting foot inside one of the British Isles’ best-loved fortresses.

Protecting each other

While we’re looking forward to welcoming you back to Bamburgh Castle as soon as it is safe to do so, the castle remains temporarily CLOSED. Car parks at the castle, Wynding, Bamburgh beach and Bamburgh Links remain CLOSED along with council-operated facilities in the village including toilets. Please help protect our community, staff and of course yourselves by not driving to Bamburgh. We are listening carefully to advice and preparing thorough security procedures to allow us to open safely as soon as we can.

We ask for your patience and support in protecting our local community and look forward to the day when Bamburgh Castle reopens once again.
