Bamburgh Castle

Bamburgh Castle is located on the Northeast coast of England near the village of Bamburgh in Northumberland. It is a Grade 1 listed building which means is has been placed on a statutory list maintained by Historic England.

Prior to Bamburgh Castle being built, the site was the location of a Celtic Brittonic fort called Din Guarie. The fort was founded sometime between 420 to 547. The fort passed from control of the Britons and the Anglo-Saxons several times and finally rested in control of the Anglo-Saxons in 590. It was destroyed by the Vikings in 993. Eventually the Normans built a castle on this site which became the core of Bamburgh Castle. It became property of the English monarch after a revolt in 1095.

It deteriorated during the 17th century and was restored by several owners during the 18th and 19th centuries. Victorian era industrialist William Armstrong bought the castle in 1894 and completed restoration.

It continues to be owned by the Armstrong family to this day. Francis Watson-Armstrong is the current owner or preservationist of this castle. It first opened to the public in the 1900's.
