Bamburgh, Northumberland

Travel Information and nearby accommodation

A very popular seaside village, Bamburgh is dominated by the imposing bulk of Bamburgh Castle, a medieval castle much remodeled during the 17th and 19th centuries. The castle looks out over a broad, sandy beach, which sweeps around the coast to the dramatic ruins of Dunstanburgh Castle. Near Bamburgh Castle is the historic church of St Aidan, a 13th century building on the site of a 7th century church built by St Aidan himself. In the churchyard is the ornate memorial of Grace Darling, daughter of the lighthouse keeper at Farne. In 1838 Darling helped rescue the crew of the SS Forfarshire, which ran aground in a fierce storm.

We have visited Bamburgh on several occasions and enjoyed ourselves immensely. It is a very attractive village, and if you are fortunate enough to visit on a late summer evening, the views of Bamburgh Castle from the beach, lit by the last light of the setting sun, is enough to take your breath away!
