| THE AREA |
The idyllic country village of Bamburgh, previously capital of the kingdom of Northumbria, is set in one of the most breathtakingly picturesque coastal regions the country has to offer, with a spectacular castle standing 150 ft above the sea.
The village a has a number of good restaurants and pubs including the Castle (known to the locals as The Middle) and The Lord Crewe Arms and The Victoria. There is also a good range of village shops including Carters Butcher Shop, the home of the famous ‘Bamburgh Banger’ a newsagent and general store and green grocers. |
| On the village green, St Aidans church stands opposite a museum containing mementos of the heroine Grace Darling. The sandy horse-shoe shaped beach stretches for miles, overlooked by Bamburgh Castle. This beach is part of the heritage coastline and designated an area of outstanding natural beauty. |

| With trips to the Farne Islands, famous for their abundant wildlife particularly the Puffins, so close at hand from nearby Seahouses, Lindisfarne, the Borders, Hadrian’s Wall the historic walled town of Berwick upon Tweed and Alnwick Castle and Garden, Bamburgh is a wonderful place to explore this quiet part of North Northumberland. |
