Bamburgh Castle

Bamburgh Castle on the Northumberland coast is a grade 1 listed building. There have been fortifications on the site for several hundred years and the core of the current structure dates back to the time of the Normans. For a long time it was in the hands of the monarchy but ended up in private ownership with a number of restorations over the years before being acquired by the Victorian era industrialist William Armstrong who completed the restoration to the condition seen today. I visited the castle 21 years ago but we went again yesterday although, unfortunately, the weather turned very inclement soon after we arrived which limited my desire to take many pictures and this also resulted in the interior being very full of visitors which was also limiting but here is some of what we saw. Additionally there is an on site avaition related museum reported on here.
