Just a single look at Bamburgh Castle, situated high on a rocky hill on the shore of Northumberland, is enough to understand why it is sometimes referred to as “the King of Castles”.
Once home to the kings of Northumbria, Bamburgh Castle, with its wide stone walls and imposing location, is even believed to be the real-life inspiration behind the legendary Sir Lancelot’s fictional home. Visitors to Bamburgh can explore its rooms and view displayed items like armor, weapons, art, and furniture, or explore the grounds and the breathtaking views from the coastal cliffs.
