Sitting on 9 acres of land on a rocky hill with majestic views over Northumberland coast, Bamburgh Castle is one of the largest inhabited castles in the country. The immense fortification of Bamburgh Castle is located on volcanic dolerite land. Famous locally as whinstone for the sounds made when hit by a stonemason's hammer, it offers a natural royal chair upon which this venue sits 45 metres above sea level.
