Purchased from here several times, during our week long holiday in Bamburgh. Everything we had was top quality. Wonderful sausage rolls and scotch eggs, superb lamb (Bamburgh Parish Spring lamb), rare breed pork from County Durham and great rib eye steaks, from Northumbrian cattle. Needless to say we stocked up well on our last day!

The King of Castles, a fortification has dominated this site since Anglo-Saxon times when it was the capital of the kingdom of Northumbria. The current structure with Keep, curtain walls, towers and ramparts dates from the 1500's to the Victorian restructuring of Lord Armstrong. There are fourteen rooms open to the public including the spectacular Kings Hall, with over 3000 items of artwork, furniture, china and porcelain. The separate Armstrong and Aviation Artifacts museum gives visitors a glimpse into the creativity and industrial genius of Lord Armstrong, with a look at the aviation legacy created by his company after his death. The cafeteria serves great, fresh food and then a wander around the battlements completes a great day out.

Bamburgh Castle was a wonderful surprise, I knew nothing about it and so was taken aback by its scale and fantastic position- the entry fee is excellent value, great social distance measures and sanitiser stations everywhere, masks required etc - the exhibits are fascinating, the Armstrong museum a real bonus for us - an all round great place to visit, and add in the beach and the village near by and it’s a great full day out.

The RNLI Grace Darling Museum tells the incredible story of Grace Darling, a fearless young woman who became a reluctant celebrity. In 1838, Grace and her father William risked their lives to rescue stranded survivors from a ship wrecked in a fierce storm. This feat of bravery changed her life dramatically. Explore Grace's life and upbringing in the lighthouse, the events of the rescue that propelled her into the limelight and her status as a national heroine. During your visit you'll discover personal items and portraits of the Darling family, including the famous boat that Grace and her father used during the rescue. See if you can light up the lighthouse, and learn more about Grace and other female lifesavers too.

This small museum has been well thought out and I’d emerged feeling as if I’d met Grace and her family. Having had an English education I knew little of this event - my 6 year old Scottish granddaughter was enthusiastic to talk about my visit as a result of Scottish schooling . 2 helpful videos and lots of artefacts moved us through the small space with the rowing boat being the piece de resistance, helping Visitors to appreciate the bravery at the heart of this story. Helpful staff and a small shop add to the experience. Free but it only feels right to make a donation to the running of the place through the RLNI. Go upstairs for a great view and an photo opportunity for children.

Beautiful little church in the stunning village of Bamburgh. The resting place of Grace Darling and amazing views of the coastline.
