As you arrive in the stunning coastal town of Bamburgh, take a moment to stroll along the picturesque beach and marvel at the spectacular 5th-century Bamburgh Castle perched on a natural throne of volcanic dolerite. Or look forward to the serene setting of Holy Island's Lindisfarne, exploring the ruins of the Priory, where the iconic Lindisfarne Gospels were crafted.
