View of Bamburgh Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

You can sometimes see people playing cricket on the village green. It's rather quaint.

Tip by

328 m

Bamburgh is a beautiful coastal town in the heart of Northumberland. Thousands of people visit Bamburgh every year for its famous castle, coastlines & walking trails.
Yet to visit any time it's not been extremely busy, but there's plenty of peace and quiet once outside of the Main Street.

Bamburgh Castle

Highlight • Viewpoint

There has been a castle here for 1400 years, since the Anglo Saxon Kings used it as the stronghold in Northumbria. The current castle sits on a 9 acre rocky plinth, it's one of the largest inhabited castles in the country.
You can visit the castle and the pretty village but some of the best views are from the beach.

Highlight • Cafe

Lovely gift shop with a cafe serving hot drinks and a small selection of cakes.

There's only a few tables so probably best as a takeaway stop if you are cycling past.
