My trip to see the puffins was cancelled due to
the stormy weather at Seahouses, so I paid a visit to Bamburgh Castle
instead. After walking up a massive hill, it’s £10 admission
and is just as impressive as Alnwick Castle. Like Alnwick, Bamburgh was built in the 11th century and is
grade I listed.
Inside the Castle
I loved the high ceilings and decorations in the
castle. There was plenty of information on the castle's history provided
(I’m not going to lie, I didn’t read it all), and there were people in most rooms to answer any questions. There are amazing views from the castle,
of the sea on one side and the other, of Bamburgh. There is also a dungeon
room at the end of the tour.
Castle Walls
You can walk along part of the castle wall, past
the canons, and look out over the sea. You can see the Farne Islands from
here, too – but sadly, no puffins! I got a picture of a rainbow on the
water.
