With more castles than any other county in England, Northumberland is steeped in history and medieval magnificence.
Towering above the sea, Bamburgh Castle looks every inch the mighty citadel it once was with views of the Farne Islands and more famously, the Holy Island of Lindisfarne. Head inland to Alnwick Castle, home to the Duke of Northumberland and more recently to the ‘Hogwarts’ residents in the Harry Potter movies.
